(NO MORE THAN 4 BOOKS PER ORDER OR PARCEL ALLOWED) - Book as well as unclipped wrapper in a great condition despite having belonged to a library before - 338 pg. >>>   A satirical look at a motley cast of characters who end up on the Riviera after WWII. Lady Peverill (affectionately known as Cuckoo) and her husband, the Napoleon biographer Charles Peverill (Archie) spend time at a villa overlooking the Mediterranean. Leni, a cabaret crooner, trying to distance herself away from her German heritage; and Marcus, a young lad who had worked as a model for publications of a dubious nature, had been living in London but decide to take a trip to the South of France. Later in the book we learn about Grottorosso, who is making a film about Napoleon's son, L'Aignon, and is to meet Archie to discuss the film's historical accuracy. These characters cross paths (in some cases literally) perchance, and how they interact over the course of a couple of days is basically what happens in the book.   >>>   In his lifetime Sir Dirk Bogarde was an actor, artist, memoirist and novelist. He was an Englishman but lived for many years in France. - He was a gay man who spent the first half of his film career as a handsome romantic leading man. Not so much a man of contradictions as someone who pretended to be someone he wasnt. Pretending is at the heart of this pleasant, amusing but undemanding novel, pretending and guarding secrets. - The story focusses on identity, the one you have and the one you might create. It is about acquiring a mask to protect yourself from discovery, to escape your past or your heritage.
