Aaron Sisson, is a union official in the coal mines of the English
Midlands, trapped in a stale marriage. He is also an amateur, but
talented, flautist. At the start of the story he walks out on his
wife and two children and decides on impulse to visit Italy. His
dream is to become recognised as a professional musician. During
his travels he encounters and befriends Rawdon Lilly, a
Lawrence-like writer who nurses Aaron back to health when he is
taken ill in post-war London. Having recovered his health, Aaron
arrives in Florence. Here he moves in intellectual and artistic
circles, argues about politics, leadership and submission, and has
an affair with an aristocratic lady. The novel ends with an
anarchist or fascist explosion that destroys Aaron's instrument.
Many incidents in the novel have direct parallels with events in
Lawrence's own life.
