Worlds are breaking apart. Anthony Verey thinks he can rescue his life by moving to France to be near his sister but her lover, Kitty, believes this will threaten their relationship. Verey chooses a 'mas' with a huge crack. It is owned by the alcoholic Aramon Lunel whose sister is condemned to live in an unlovely modern house nearby. The back stories of the protagonists point to disaster. As always Tremain is a good read.
