This story from childhood on of two academics an American and an Englishman and of a rich American who subsidizes them, is filled with action and suspense, and is particularly insightful about one man's quest to maintain his integrity and spiritual development in the face of crass materialism. Reflecting Tarrant's understanding of the academic cultures of both Great Britain and the United States, this, his first novel, makes palpable to us the unassuaged stability and estrangement of our condition.
