This powerfully dramatic sequel to "The Mayfly" and "A Dragon Roused" shows Robin Eddy with the bit between his teeth. This funny but poignant story - set mostly in Paris and Normandy - depicts the three main characters, Roland the adult, Piers the student and Andre the young boy as a wayward triangle, never still but always threatening to self-destruct.

This story is set in France - opera designer Roland's cottage near the Mont St Michel, his apartment and the boarding school in Paris, and at Levallois where Piers is studying music.

In this fifth volume of the Piers-Roland-Andre series, the tensions are heightened even further. Roland's ex-wife pops up, Piers' mother finds out about his son's past relations with Roland, and Andre Duclos is placed in an English boarding school after a horrendous attack in Paris.

Roland is ever anxious not to lose his two young men - after all that they have been to each other, but he is hampered, both ...
