Molly Keane's allusive and elegant novel about the St Charles family, an Anglo-Irish family in the last stages of decaying grace, examines how their crumbling codes of conduct are unable to save them from their own inadmissible desires.
— From Women's Classics Book GroupDescription
In 1929, Modotti was accused of the murder of Julio Antonio Mella, her Cuban lover. She fled to the USSR to escape the Mexican press and then to Europe, where she became a Soviet secret agent and a nurse under an assumed name, returning to Mexico to meet an early death at the age of forty-five.
