Julie Summers is determined, and refreshingly unafraid, to show her great-uncle as a complete human being, so for the first time the reader learns of Sandy's affair with Marjory Summers, the step-mother of his best friend, Dick. Summers also clearly sets out Sandy's initial reactions of betrayal and jealousy when he first hears of Dick's engagement to his sister, Evelyn.
An important book which, to this reader at least, ensures that Andrew Irvine will be much more than Mallory's inexperienced protégé. ( )
