Casanova's Chinese Restaurant Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

'He is, as Proust was before him, the great literary chronicler of his culture in his time.' GUARDIAN'A Dance to the Music of Time' is universally acknowledged as one of the great works of English literature.

Reissued now in this definitive edition, it stands ready to delight and entrance a new generation of readers. In this fifth volume, Nick Jenkins finally seems to be settling down and enjoying the life he has made for himself in London.

However, the same cannot be said of his friends, who are each dealing with their own drama and heartache.

The composer Hugh Moreland is risking his marriage for a pointless affair, while, Nick’s old school pal Stringham has nearly destroyed himself with drink.

But with the rumblings of war getting louder and nearer, the future is starting to look uncertain for all of them.
