Inhalt

Freud's fourth novel addresses the power of the artistic muse, but above all it is steeped in the landscape of Steerborough, a tiny British seaside village that is home to two complex casts of characters who live there 50 years apart. Klaus Lehmann, a Jewish architect and German emigre, writes letters to his wife from 1931 until his death in 1953. The letters end up in the hands of a present-day architecture student writing her thesis on Lehmann who rents a cottage in Steerborough to better soak up the creative atmosphere surrounding her famous subject. The time periods are soon revealed to have more than just letters in common, as Freud adroitly ties them together with matching threads of sexual liaisons, children forced to grow up too soon, and natural disaster. Some characters are fleshed out more carefully than others, but no reader will soon forget Freud's rhapsodic descriptions of the village or its inhabitants, who, like the weather, are alternately morose and incandescent.
