A Love Match

Having had a brief life, this novel had fallen foul of a libel threat, and was for a long time very scarce.

Résumé

It had a brief life, falling foul of a libel threat, and for a long time was very scarce. Beneath its surface blacknesses of mood and double-dealing, what makes this book more diverting than painful is the amused unblinking eye the author brings to bear on an unusually wide range of characters.
