- Brief Synopsis:
- Satire about artistic pretentions in an English village
- Long Synopsis:
- Sculptor Conrad Swann mysteriously disappears, and his self-appointed patron Martha Rawson takes it upon herself to promote his latest work. Although nearly everyone finds the piece hideous, Martha persuades the town council of East Head to purchase it. The townspeople struggle to accept it as a piece of modern art. Controversy over the sculpture reveals deep cracks in the marriage of Dickie and Christina Pattison. This novel presents a gallery of well-drawn characters and portrays life in a postwar English village with gentle bemusement.
