Description
A newly retired, conventional Londoner, Henry Pulling, expects a quiet life of dahlias and familiar routines—until his eccentric Aunt Augusta sweeps him into a journey across Europe and beyond. Narrated with Henry’s dry, reluctant candor, the trip unfolds as a series of encounters that blur the lines between sightseeing and something far more dangerous, driven by Augusta’s magnetic will and shadowed past. As Henry is pulled from comfort into crime, improvisation, and moral uncertainty, the novel explores themes of freedom versus control, the seductions of the unknown, and how reinvention can arrive through the most unlikely relationships. With Graham Greene’s signature blend of wit, suspense, and psychological insight, this is a travel story that keeps turning into a deeper meditation on character and choice—without ever losing the momentum of the road.
