In this 1967 novel Wilson Harris explores the spiritual and
psychic realities beyond the mundane facts of relationships, boldly
constructing his story on the basis of fragments.
When the Forrestals died in an explosion that wrecked their home
and destroyed most of its contents, there survived a disjointed
diary - or 'log book', as Susan Forrestal called it. She had
suffered from an affliction of the eyes which, after three
operations, left her almost blind. Abandoned by her lover, who
disappeared without a trace, she eventually married a kind and
solicitous husband; nevertheless her lover continued to haunt her
in such a way that his presence had an almost living reality.
'I admire Wilson Harris's novels greatly; he is one of the very
few living novelists whose works are too brief for my tastes.'
