A vulnerable and bullied boy vanishes from a boarding-school in an
austerely beautiful part of the Scottish county of Fife. A young
nurse from the American South encounters love - and culture-clash -
at the school. Her beau, a teacher and former army officer, is a
tense and troubled man. A precocious young aesthete stumbles
towards maturity. A lecherous, alcoholic headmaster quotes
Shakespeare at inopportune moments. Tragedy? Farce? Both? Offset by
praise-poetry to Fife landscape and folk culture, Tom Hubbard's
complex, sardonic tale scurries through unexpected corridors and
caverns, up and down dubious stairs, its secret architecture
reflecting the "Big Hoose" in which much of the action takes place
