Julian Mitchell's fifth novel, first published in 1966, is the
story of Martin Bannister, whose lonely bachelor life in Manhattan
is transformed by a meeting with desirable redhead Henrietta
Grigson and her husband Freddy, with whom he embarks on a heady
social whirl. But Martin has a surprise in store - a plot twist the
real-life inspiration for which Julian Mitchell divulges in his new
preface to this Faber Finds edition. 'A comedy that is delightfully
human, played by characters who have the edgy vitality of real
life.' Evening Standard 'Mitchell is a writer of the most supple
technical accomplishment.' Telegraph 'Ingeniously constructed and
excellently written.' Listener
