The fictional biography of Cashel Greville Ross - soldier, farmer, felon, writer, father, lover - one man many lives. We move from Ireland to London, from Waterloo to Zanzibar, from Sri Lanka to Pisa and the world of Byron and Shelley to Ravenna where he meets the woman who will haunt his heart. Another treat for fans of Boyd or another to be avoided if you find his books too contrived and full of coincidences! I enjoyed it.
