The Book and the Brotherhood: A Story about Love and Friendship and Marxism (Penguin Fiction)
A story about love and friendship and Marxism
Many years ago Gerard Hernshaw and his friends “commissioned†one of their number to write a political book.
Time passes and opinions change. “Why should we go on supporting a book which we detest?†Rose Curtland asks. “The brotherhood of Western intellectuals versus the book of history,†Jenkin Riderhood suggests. The theft of a wife further embroils the situation. Moral indignation must be separated from political disagreement.
Tamar Hernshaw has a different trouble and a terrible secret. Can one die of shame? In another quarter a suicide pact seems the solution. Duncan Cambus thinks that since it is a tragedy, someone must die. Someone dies. Rose, who has gone on loving without hope, at least deserves a reward.
