The second volume of Robertson Davies’ Cornish Trilogy explores the complicated life and hidden talents of eccentric art collector Francis Cornish.  

“Davies’ novel is absorbing, and the understated humour radiates with good sense about the way of the world.”  -  Los Angeles Times

Francis Cornish was always good at keeping secrets. From the well-hidden family secret of his childhood to his mysterious encounters with a small-town embalmer, an expert art restorer, a Bavarian countess and various masters of espionage, the events in Francis's life were not always what they seemed.

“An altogether remarkable creation, [Davies’] most accomplished novel to date." -  New York Times
