A wonderful black comedy which was turned into a play and also filmed. A group of London intellectuals living in an emotionless society find their primitive passions stirred into action by an intruder. (Kirkus UK)
Martin Lynch-Gibbon believes he can possess both a beautiful wife and a delightful lover.But when his wife, Antonia, suddenly leaves him for her psychoanalyst, Martin is plunged into an intensive emotional re-education. He attempts to behave beautifully and sensibly. Then he meets a woman whose demonic splendour at first repels him and later arouses a consuming and monstrous passion. As his Medusa informs him, 'this is nothing to do with happiness'.
