About this book
Pompey Casmilus leaves London for a period of recuperation in Germany after an unhappy love affair. Her stay draws her into a strange world of conspirators, espionage and military power. Set in the shadow of the 1930s political crisis, Stevie Smith’s second novel combines satire, fantasy and an unsettling examination of personal responsibility.
