Our minds are like those maps at the entrance to the Metro stations in Paris. They are full ofunilluminated directions. But when we know where we want to go and press the right button, theroute is illuminated before us in electric clarity.
Diana von Flugel warned her husband- a piece of toast that hard could break a tooth. WhenDiana goes to Melbourne to have the tooth fixed, Wolfie is far too concerned with findinginspiration for his musical compositions to realise the chain of events he has just set in motion.On Collins Street, Russell Lockwood catches a glimpse of his childhood friend and knows atonce that she is a rare woman...
Now Diana and Wolfie's marriage is under threat, the Great War is approaching, and no one quiteknows where their hearts belong. First published in 1957, the third novel in Martin Boyd'scelebrated Langton Quartet is a beguiling comedy of manners about the outbreak of love ininconvenient places.
This edition of Outbreak of Love comes with an introduction by Chris Womersley.
