Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of Hampstead Heath, the story follows John Lavender, a gentle and somewhat eccentric gentleman of fifty-eight, whose intellect has been influenced by the writings of public figures. Living in a charming castle surrounded by lush gardens, he leads a life of solitude, having never practiced law despite his education. His companions include Blink, his young sheep-dog, and his devoted housekeeper Marian Petty, along with her husband Joe, the chauffeur. The narrative explores themes of independence, eccentricity, and the passage of time in a changing world.
