Author Description

"What is happening to Walter Lemanby? Confined to The Settlement ater a fall, he convalesces among bizarre inmates and staff: is he there for his physical or his mental health? Fear invades Walter's life as civil strife grips the country. He has accidents in which he does not die; he has dreams in which he does. On an island in the centre of The Settlement's lake Walter enters a dreamlike world where the imagined is real and reality wavers under the pressure of language."--Publisher description.
