Two years ago - or was it more? - novelist Stephen Cox had vanished to the East. There had been postcards, then silence: now Liz has received this strange parcel of jottings, bills, pictures and bones. Enlisting the help of another of his friends, beautiful, rackety Hattie Osborne, Liz begins to decipher the trail of the man who might once have become her lover. 'Margaret Drabble's most ambitious novel to date ...Taking up themes and characters from its two immediate predecessors The Radiant Way and A Natural Curiosity the plot unravels in scenes from St John's Wood ... to a bridge over the river on the border between Thailand and Cambodia ... interesting, detailed, amusing and horrifying by turns' TLS
