Winner of the Whitbread First Novel award in 1989, Gerontius takes as its starting point a little-documented but real event in the life of Sir Edward Elgar - a six-week cruise to the Amazon that he took in 1923 - and in telling the story of that journey explores melancholy and the waning of creative genius: post-war disillusionment; and the way in which England treats its great artists.
Soft cover, good condition.
