When consulting back numbers of bookswelike I was surprised to find that no one had ever reviewed any of the novels from this author's outstanding Music of Time series. This is the first of twelve volumes. The skill and gentle humour with which he analyses the main characters, who reappear amongst a host of others in different situations throughout the series, make this a masterpiece amongst English novels set between 1920 and the early 1970s.
