It takes an unexpected potential tragedy to bring the story to its climatic resolution, and to an answer to the question posed to Frank all those years before.' (Quote from inside front jacket blurb). ***'At a first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognisable. The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' [A. S. Byatt - review quote from back of jacket blurb]. ***The first impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in fine collectable condition - from the Booker Prize-winner of 'Holiday'.
