  Benson is a 63-year-old writer who is losing command of his former skill, and directs his literary efforts towards a group of disparate lonely people to whom he teaches creative writing. He meets up with an old war comrade, a down-and-out victim of Thatcher's Britain, and things change. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, Barry Unsworth is the author of many novels including Mooncranker's Gift , Stone Virgin and Pascali's Island , which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1980.
