Hidden in the Heart

London England: Bloomsbury, 1991. Hardback. Hidden in the hearts of the characters in this novel are irreconcilable passions and unadmitted deeds. A South African student living in England falls in love with Diana, a woman much older than himself; a much younger woman falls in love with him; haunting them all is the broodingly ironic presence of Diana's husband, a well-known poet and high-ranking official in the BBC. The result is a tale of triangles, time and murder. Full of fiercely dramatic tunrs and tantalising shifts of style, of sharp social observation and unforgettable landscapes, the novel covers a timespan of several decades. its scenes are set in Ca,bridge, London, Cornwall and South Africa; it also contains seven poems, a formal interview, and extracts from a secret diary. Everything is unfolded for us step by step by a narrator who has almost as much to learn about the fated, compelling characters as we do. 199 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in sci fi fantasy and horror, The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
