London, Secker & Warburg 1982, cm.14,5x22,5, pp.186, hardcover, dustjacket. First Edition. This mordantly witty and profoundly entertaining novel explores the twin destinies of Giles Fox, a lecherous, twice-widowed medievalist who has lost his sight during eighteen years devoted to the transcription and translation of the thirteenth-century Treatise of Heavenly Love, and of his daughter, Tibba, a lovely, stammering seventeen-year-old whose daydreams are full of characters out of Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen.
