But then he meets his childhood sweetheart Hartley, and memories of her lovely, younger self crowd in – along with more recent lovers and friends – to disrupt his self-imposed exile. So instead of ‘learning to be good’, Charles proceeds to demonstrate how very bad he can be.‘It isn’t all brainy fantasising in Murdochland; there’s wild swimming, appalling sandwiches, death, madness and sex’ Guardian‘Dazzlingly entertaining and inventive’ The TimesWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY DAISY JOHNSON**WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE**Country/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: John Burnside (Introduction by), Daisy Johnson (Introduction by)Genre: FictionRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
