Three people, hitherto unknown to one another, are exceptionally
sensitised, partly as the result of neurological changes following
a missile strike, to global cruelty and suffering. Their attempts
to alert society to much that is unrecognised are met with
incomprehension and hostility. They are eventually exiled as
threats to society whilst they defend their "compassionate
pessimism" against political, commercial, educational and religious
opinion. They conclude that the "developed world" is still
stone-aged beneath its civilised veneer. This disturbing novel
touches upon some of the author's own concerns, for world peace,
respect for animal life, and for the arts, music especially. But
basically this is a love story about the growth in relationship
between a group of idealists, and their attempts to evade forces of
oppression as they are watched, warned and eventually thrown out of
their native land.
