Synopsis

Diana von Flugel warned her husband: a piece of toast that hard could break a tooth. When Diana goes to Melbourne to have the tooth fixed, Wolfie is far too concerned with finding inspiration for his musical compositions to realise the chain of events he has just set in motion. On Collins Street, Russell Lockwood catches a glimpse of his childhood friend and knows at once that she is a rare woman. Now Diana and Wolfie's marriage is under threat, the Great War is approaching and no one quite knows where their hearts belong.

About this title

Review:

'The Text Classic series is an ongoing marvel, bringing lost and out of print first-rate authors back and putting them in front of a whole new generation of readers authors like the acerbically brilliant Elizabeth Harrower..., the deft satirist Madeleine St. John in her feather-light comic masterpiece The Women in Black, and perhaps best of all, the great Martin Boyd... For many readers this will be an entirely new world of literature, and a glorious one.' --Conversational Reading
