Description
Released from prison after serving his sentence for the assisted death of his wife, Dr James Darke self-isolates due to failing health and exacerbated impatience. However, upon his return, he finds himself a displaced person in a new world that has not prepared him. Irrascible, misanthropic, and intensely bookish, Darke is a happy shut-in who spends his time writing oppositional pamphlets and composing a literary hoax. His daughter and the Bulgarian housekeeper she hired to care for him have other plans for his life. After Darke is a moving exploration of grief, ageing, and love in all its forms, featuring one of the most memorable characters of contemporary fiction.
