About the Author:
David Garnett (1892-1981) started as a bookseller in London in the 1920s and went on to become a partner in the Nonesuch Press between 1923 and 1935. In the 1930s he also worked as a literary editor and contributor to the New Statesman and he worked as a historian for the government during World War Two. He was also famous as an author and published a large number of novels throughout these years. He is well known for his association with the Bloomsbury group - as a conscientious objector in the First World War, he lived at Charleston with the painters Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, and he later went on to marry their daughter Angelica. He was made a CBE in 1952.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Hardback no D/J in good condition. 1989 Isis Large Print edition. Garnett's (1892-1981) frothy romantic diversion, first published in England in 1955, is a graceful tale of Oedipal tensions, shared secrets, violent shocks and theatricality. Recently expelled from school, Alexis, a hotheaded young Englishman, has enlisted in the army. He takes as his lover beautiful, bitchy French actress Rose Vibert, but she ditches him to marry his uncle, baronet-poet Sir George Dillingham. Many years later, the Dillinghams' 13-year-old daughter Jenny falls madly for Alexis; Rose, meanwhile, beds a 20-year-old in a menage a trois. Jealousies and passions wax and wane as we hop from Paris to Venice to French wine country, yet the story, for all its psychological nuances, does not rise much above the level of melodrama. An Andrew Lloyd Webber musical based on the novel is scheduled to open in New York next April. Literary Guild alternate.
