A Masterpiece
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I read this novel about a year ago. Like all of Roy Heath's novels, it is a dark work. The slow deterioration of the protagonist Galton Flood into madness. The clomax when it comes is a surprise, but you realize that you should have seen all the signposts along the way. The author writes with an understanding of the dark places in the human spirit, and with considerable sympathy. This story will stay with you for a long time. It is a masterpiece.
