Author Beresford gave up being an architect 20 years ago, to write psychological novels. His characters are structurally correct, the perspective of their situations perfect to a fault. Unfortunately, they remain largely in the blue-print stage, explicit social diagrams which their creator lacks either the wit or power to bring to life...
Before finding fault, may I express my admiration for the way in which you handle in small space complex matters apparently accurately? It is often easier to write a book than a sentence.

The East is both civilized and barbarous, and out of its barbarity new hordes may rush upon the flimsy fabric of occidentalism. In pushing strident commercial claims, the possibility of reaction must be remembered; and greed for a few dollars today must not be allowed...
