Edward Mannion, distiguished, handsome, middle-aged munitions manufacturer, was the father of an only child from whom he had lived apart after his wife died. They had correspondent while Olivia had been at school, at camp, at the university. Now they were awkwardly sharing a house in London, bickering.

This is a memorably mencing work.
