Edmund has escaped from his family into a lonely life. Returning for his mother's funeral he finds himself involved in the old, awful problems, together with some new ones. One by one his relatives reveal their secrets to a reluctant Edmund: illicit affairs, hidden passions, shameful scandals. And the heart of all, there is, as always, the family's loyal servant, the Italian girl.
Edmund stumbles into one emotional upheaval after another when he returns to the family home on the death of his mother. Murdoch's prose demands concentration but is worth it.
