For Love or Money was Tim Jeal's first novel, accepted for
publication in 1966 while he was still an undergraduate at Oxford.
It is the story of temporary gentleman George, who lives as a kept
man with Ruth, the older woman he stole from a wealthy peer, but
whose relatively comfortable country life is threatened by his
difficult relations with Ruth's two sons. 'A first novel of genuine
merit... Pointed and witty, with good dialogue and brisk
backgrounds.' Evening Standard 'A subtle five finger exercise... A
beautifully complex and compassionate creation.' Francis King,
Sunday Telegraph 'Harshly uncompromising... The action screws
together with an engineer's precision, but Tim Jeal's ability and
insight give unity to the whole.' Sunday Times 'Written in a style
that is sophisticated and simple, acute and dogged... [Mr Jeal's]
book really has no faults.' New Yorker
