About the Book

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MIRANDA SEYMOUR 'This is a comedy with that touch of ferocity about it which makes for excitement' Elizabeth Jane Howard Martin believes he can possess both a beautiful wife and a delightful lover. But when his wife, Antonia, suddenly leaves him for her psychoanalyst, Martin is plunged into an intensive emotional re-education. He attempts to behave beautifully and sensibly. Then he meets a woman whose demonic splendour at first repels him and later arouses a consuming and monstrous passion. How will he survive it? See also: The Bell
