From Publishers Weekly
Colegate's latest contribution to her sizable corpus of novels, of which the filmed The Shooting Party is the best known, is an extraordinarily accomplished excursus of subtle complexity into memory and the nature of truth, the search for meaning and the importance of character. Opinionated, outspoken but apolitical Catherine Hillery is puzzled when she is commissioned to write the authorized biography of Neil Campion, a World War I flying ace who was a prominent British politician of the '30s and '40s until his untimely death in a car accident on the day of Rudolf Hess's famous flight to England. Why a biography of Campion is of interest in the '80s is unclear, and Hillery has difficulty pinning down his character and motives. But in delving into the Campion family's past, Hillery is brought to reexamine her own marriage and relationship to her sons, and thereby herself. Her Italian daughter-in-law Etta's lover Alfred Madden, a Jewish refugee and orphan turned gossip columnist, helps unravel the mystery, rattling disturbing skeletons of the past. Colegate's superb craftsmanship becomes evident as the pieces of her intricately designed puzzle begin to fall into place. Her elegant prose and acuity of observation are qualities the reader can savor.

Cloth-backed boards. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Octavo, pp 216, a slight suggestion of foxing to the fore-edge, a bit age-toned but otherwise extremely clean and sound internally, half-cloth and marbled boards in very good condition. [Limited edition of 150 numbered copies, signed by the author.].{Catherine Hillery, recently widowed and a biographer of modest attainments is pleased to be asked to write the authorised life of Neil Campion, a politician of the 1930s, now dead. With the apparent approval of the Campion family she begins to investigate the life and early death of this once promising public man. It soon appears that someone else is working on the same subject, and that there is a curious shortage of material about Campion's activities during the early years of the war.}. Signed by Author.
