It is 1938 and Sigmund Freud, suffering from the debilitating
effects of cancer, has been permitted by the Nazis to leave Vienna.
He seeks refuge in England, taking up residence in the house in
Hampstead in which he will die only fifteen months later. But his
last months are made vivid by the arrival of a stranger, who comes
and goes according to Freud's state of health. Who is the
mysterious visitor and why has he come to tell the famed proponent
of the Oedipus complex his strange story? Set partly in pre-war
London and partly in ancient Greece, Where Three Roads Meet is as
brilliantly compelling as it is moving. Former psychoanalyst and
acclaimed novelist Salley Vickers revisits a crime committed long
ago which still has disturbing reverberations for us all.
