[snorky]

Terrible tosh isnt it.

[capt_birdseye]

[shambles]

i've got a copy of that - never read it tho! Very sinister cover on my penguin classic version...a man wearing a demented smiling papier mache mask lurking behind a statue of an angel! what's it about?

is a gay novel by the bisex Dame Muriel Spark ( 1959 ).

[capt_birdseye]

Sounds good.

[snorky]

Always judge a book by its cover - this one has a very poor cover..ergo......
