Scarce. The debut novel of the daughter of artist Edward Wadsworth: 'a clever study in possessive affection: in the sinister workings of jealousy, at first subtle and insidious, in its final stages coldly and deliberately evil' (dustjacket blurb) - it is set at the tail-end of the Second World War, the narrative hinging on the erroneous news of Mark Lemming's death whilst a prisoner of the enemy.Wadsworth published one further novel, 'The Gentle Rain', and a biography of her father. The present work was well reviewed by Michael Sadleir in the Sunday Times.
