The story concerns two generations of a family members of which have kept various secrets from one another, opening the door for a spot of blackmail. One of them is into retifism, which I’m confident isn’t a spoiler as it wasn’t even in my dictionary. I’d be willing to bet it never came up in ‘Call My Bluff’.
One to read if you enjoy a well turned sentence and don’t mind exercising the grey matter. It can’t be rushed, it has to be taken slowly and the end isn't exactly a neat tie-up. I was left wondering what it was all about but with the sense that I had read the work of a clever author nonetheless. ( )
