Э. Н. Уилсон0.0 Evelyn Tradescant. A recent failure in love, with a passion for natural history, timid and rather lonely.
By accident she meets Theo Gormann in the park, an old man with a chequered, enigmatic past (baron, ex-intimate of Goebbels, pacifist, drama critic... who knows?). A strange quasi-erotic friendship develops as Gormann delicately and cleverly draws Evelyn into his net. Suddenly, Evely discovers she is controlling a balance of power, power she relishes manipulating. Or is she?
