"Natalie Natalia"?is Nicholas Mosley's brilliant examination of
political life. It revolves around Anthony Greville, a conservative
Member of Parliament who is tormented by his ambivalence toward his
career, by his religious doubts, and by his adulterous affair with
Natalia Jones, the enigmatic wife of a colleague.
The course of their affair dramatizes love in its most creative
and perilously destructive aspects, the two facets symbolized in
the two names he has for his lover: "I sometimes called Natalia
Natalie instead of Natalia," Greville says, "when she was the
ravenous rather than the angelic angel... What Natalie said was
often a code for what Natalia was meaning." Ranging in setting from
England to Central Africa, the novel is a remarkable investigation
of ethics, with fiction itself as an ethical activity.
