A Book for All and None
Clare Morgan
Formats & Editions
Raymond is a withdrawn Oxford don and Nietzsche expert who discovers love and life when he meets Beatrice, who is considerably younger than him and works on Virginia Woolf.
Walter is Beatrice's alpha-male husband, a power-hungry, philandering construction mogul who makes suspicious deals in the Middle East. And around this captivating trio, there is the mystery of a rumoured link between Friedrich Nietzsche and Virginia Woolf...
Every single strand is fascinating and fully realised and yet Clare Morgan somehow manages to weave them together into a dazzling, thought-provoking whole.
