Description
Set in the shadowy modern bustle of Stockholm, this overlooked early novel follows two long-separated twins, Kate and Anthony “Tony” Farrant, whose lives collide with the uneasy machinery of class, money, and moral compromise. As Anthony moves through a world of shabby respectability and predatory ambition, he becomes entangled with a cast of public-school types and down-at-heel outsiders—each carrying their own version of loyalty, dishonesty, and self-justification. Greene uses the distance of an overseas setting to sharpen his critique of England’s class system, tracing how old-school privilege and international finance capitalism can produce both corruption and quiet despair. With his characteristic blend of seedy atmosphere, psychological unease, and conscience-driven tension, the novel asks what—if anything—can redeem a life when the rules are rigged and the stakes are personal.
