Книга: Peter De Polnay «Blood and Water»

Claud's father is dead, and the web of lies that has served as his past threatens to destroy more than one man's future. Claud is Margery's son, that much is certain. But what is his relation to Victor, to Victor's housekeeper Lil, to David for whom he feels such affection? What keeps all these characters in a mysterious to-and-fro betwen Pigalle and London, between Alice's London Bar in Cannes and the White House near Dover? What is the weight of the past that forces Margery to complain, "The trouble is it'll never end"? These are things that Claud must never know. It is up to Lil, Margery, and David to keep loosened tongues still. But to silence the past one must also revisit it, check through the old rooms to see that their denizens are sleeping safely inside. In this milieu Peter de Polnay is at his best. Will blood prove thicker than water? With his usual panache and delicate irony, Peter de Polnay unfolds a strange tale which leaves the reader in suspense to the very end.
