Description

The Comforters by Muriel Spark In this first novel by Muriel Spark, matchless originality and glittering wit shine through. Caroline Rose is plagued by an unusual problem - she realises she is in a novel. Her fellow characters are also possibly deluded, each with their own strange perceptions of reality. Laurence finds diamonds in a loaf of bread, while Baron Stock believes he is on the trail of England's leading Satanist. As Caroline navigates her world, she must confront the blurred lines between reality and fiction. With its unique blend of wit, precision, intelligence, and hilarity, The Comforters is a light, clever, and mirthful tour de force that disrupts and charms its readers.
