AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A young man leaves Australia - his marriage, writing and an academic career - for a remote village in France, St Julien des Roches. He spends his months from September to December there living in what he calls his "cave", an unusual form of accommodation which is common to the area.' (Inside dust jacket)

Notes

  • Epigraph:

    Midwinter Spring is its own season
    sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,
    suspended in time, between pole and tropic.

    - T. S. Eliot, from 'Little Gidding' (Four Quartets)
