The Pandemonium
|
|
'This remarkable novel is a concentrated and beautifully written study of the nature of love, spiritual and carnal. Stacey's approach is through wonderfully detailed minutiae, observation of the people and of this 'half Norse world belonging to the sea' ' Sunday Telegraph
Pandemonium breaks loose on the mainland of Britain. The total collapse of order that follows with alarming swiftness through strikes and panic in the major cities paralyses the country. This releases the profound chaos within Brother James who has secluded himself on a wild Hebridean island to devote himself to a life of the spirit. Previously married and the lover of another woman, in his reunion with his daughter he is wrenched from his carapace of spiritual reclusion. |
