Synopsis
Handsome anthropologist, Tom Mallow, runs into trouble when he tries to choose between the soft-hearted Catherine Oliphant and a more recent conquest, Deidre Swan. The author was chosen in 1977 as one of the most underrated writers of the 20th century by Phillip Larkin and Lord David Cecil.
