Biografía del autor:
"A rueful, cheerfully savage novel . . . lit with unearthly fires and enchantments."?The New York Times
It is 1949, and Guy Langton's house?like his family's fortunes?has seen better days. But when Guy finds his grandmother's diaries he chances on an intricate web of deception and reveals the complex fate of his family over three generations.
Martin Boyd was born in Switzerland in 1893 into a family that was to achieve fame in the Australian arts. His first novel, Love Gods, was published in 1925. Three years later The Montforts appeared, under the pseudonym Martin Mills. International success came with Lucinda Brayford, followed by the Langton Quartet: The Cardboard Crown, A Difficult Young Man, Outbreak of Love and When Blackbirds Sing. In 1957 he went to Rome, where he lived and continued to write until his death in 1972.
