Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
Booker Prize Winner in 1978. When director, playwright and actor Charles retires from his glittering London world to become a hermit, it is to the sea that he turns. He hopes to escape from 'the women' but, unexpectedly, meets one whom he loved long ago. Charles learns that his solitude is inhabited by the drama of his own fantasies and obsessions. Intellectually challenging and imaginatively satisfying, this was a great choice for the Booker Prize. (Kirkus UK)
