| Summary |
"What does the decorous lawyer Walter Dove, inventively sailing the globe solo, have to do with the lonely spinster Rose Lightfoot, busy beside her paintbrush beside the canals of Venice? And what has either to do with outback bard and Boer War veteran Jim Bird dwelling incognito in gold-flecked New Zealand forest with his bruised sweetheart? The answer is love of a luminous kind. Fate lifts the trio one by one into the incandescent realm of legend. But as one tale engenders another, whose voice are we hearing? Is it the author's or that of his effervescent accomplice, his bewitcing and beloved Aunt Alice? |
