School for Love

Orphaned, friendless and bewildered, young Felix Latimer comes to war-time Jerusalem to lodge with Miss Bohun, one of the most redoubtable (and ridiculous) of comic horrors in English fiction. "Here is a woman of unfathomable depths of meanness and cunning... a triumph of portraiture, compassionate, witty, and assured" - Time and Tide "Distinctly out of the ordinary... "School for Love" shows remarkable qualities of force and originality" - Times Literary Supplement
