SPAIN has the most satisfying pavilion of all: a well-wrought building where cool, shadowy interiors lead to bright, fountained courtyards, an art gallery where Goya and Velázquez hang cheek by jowl with Miró and Picasso.

So numerous are the odd and diverting characters who flash in and out of his pages that a list of all their names and relationships, assembled by London's Time and Tide two novels back, occupied four full pages of type. Yet every one of them is as distinctively striated and plump with life as a mountain trout, and the society they inhabit is as compellingly real...
