About this product

Product Information

'One of the best and most important writers writing in English-dazzlingly entertaining and inventive' The Times The sea- turbulent and leaden, transparent and opaque, magician and mother... When Charles Arrowby, over sixty, a demi god of the theatre- director, playwright and actor - retires from his glittering London world in order to `abjure magic and become a hermit', it is to the sea that he turns. He hopes at least to escape from `the woman' - but unexpectedly meets one whom he loved long ago. His Buddhist cousin, James, also arrives. He is menaced by a monster from the deep. Charles finds his `solitude' peopled by the drama of his own fantasies and obsessions.

    I didn't enjoy this book much. I thought most of the characters were pretty unlikable and their relationships pretty silly. Some excellent descriptive writing though.
