"Pascal, a landowner fallen on hard times and trapped in a
miserable marriage, runs away from home and wins a lot of money at
the gaming tables in Monte Carlo. Meanwhile a body has been found
in the millrace of his village and it is assumed that Pascal has
killed himself. Seizing what looks like a chance to create a new
life, he travels to Rome under an assumed name and struggles to
invent a different identity which he can inhabit. He fails, returns
home, finds his wife has remarried and has to act out the role of
being as it were a living ghost. All these tragic events are
recounted with verve and wit and comes across clearly in
Simborowski's spirited translation from the Italian."Robert Nye in
