About this title

Synopsis

In March 1983, Arthur and Cynthia Koestler both committed suicide. Arthur Koestler was suffered from two increasingly painful and debilitating illnesses but Cynthia was 22 years younger and in perfect health. This book--the chapters were written alternately by both of them--was found after their deaths and besides dealing with Koestler's turbulent life in France after World War II also in some ways explains why Mrs. Koestler chose to end her life.
