THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD

THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD
Michael Arditti

 

The Glanvilles are an extraordinary family. Edwin, a retired bishop who has lost his faith. Marta, a child of the Warsaw Ghetto is a controversial anthropologist. Their son, Clement, is a celebrated gay painter traumatised by the death of his twin. Their daughter, Susannah, is a music publicist recovering from an affair with a convicted murderer. Each of them must face down a personal demon – Clement’s work and reputation are violently attacked and his privacy is shattered, while Edwin’s illness forces Marta to confront the horrors of her past. These memorable figures are portrayed with wit, wisdom, and shattering emotional power.
