WW II is over, Nathaniel and Rachel abandoned by their parents are left in the care of a mysterious figure known as The Moth and his strange cohort of friends. Are they criminals or something else? What did they do in the war, and how was their mother involved? Years later Nathaniel determines to find out and uncovers a world of mist and shadows, half truths and evasions. Not as mesmerising as The English Patient (bwl 91) but beautifully written.
