When revelation comes to Peter Thorpe he reacts in a surprising way.
He throws his safe life away to pursue his passion for a mercurial woman.
Hampered by disaffected millionairesses, shifty gurus, hopelessly addicted gamblers - and taking in Scottish communes, the casinos of Monte Carlo and the wilder shores of California - his journey is a witty foray into the elusive heart of being.
Edward St Aubyn was born in London in 1960. He is also the author of the highly acclaimed trilogy Some Hope, reissued by Picador in 2006, and of Mother's Milk, which was shortlisted for the 2006 Man Booker Prize and won the South Bank Literature Award. On the Edge was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Award in 1998.
