...servants, overnight loaded two rented moving vans with furniture and a third with the cocker spaniels. Next morning, putting the doctors off with the excuse that she first had "to drive some friends to the airport," Margaret got behind the wheel of her flamingo-hued, air-conditroned 1957 Lincoln Capri, put Sheila Joy behind her in a white-and-brown Mercury station wagon, and led the bizarre caravan highballing out of Atlanta...

Take an Anglo-Saxon with an ailing love life and plant him under the Mediterranean sun. Will the change kill or cure him? This theme has more or less dominated a spate of recent novels, notably The Exchange of Joy (set in Italy), The Capri Letters (Italy), A Slimmer Night (Italy) and The Sea and the Stone (Greece). In The Dark Glasses the atmospheric catalyst is the Greek resort island of Corfu, and the inhibited patient is a 39-year-old crew-cut Englishman named Patrick Orde whose eleven-year marriage to a Greek woman is not so much...
