From the Inside Flap:
Carel is rector of a City church that was destroyed in the war. In the rectory live his daughter Muriel, his beautiful invalid ward Elizabeth, and their West Indian servant Patti. Here too are Eugene, a Russian emigre, and his delinquent son Leo. Carel?s brother Marcus tries to make contact with Carel but is constantly rebuffed. These seven characters go through a dance of attraction and repulsion, misunderstanding and revelation with the enigmatic Carel at the centre ? a priest who believes that God being dead, His Angels are released.
