North

North

by Brian Martin (Author)

Synopsis

Soon after arriving at his Oxford school, the enigmatic North has invited his female history teacher, Bernie, to lunch and not, as she had thought, to discuss history. When Monty, North's married physics teacher, makes it clear that he wants Bernie for himself, North seeks to mollify him in his own particular way: by seducing him. As North and his bizarre cohort travel across Oxford, London, Ravello, and Washington, the sexual anarchy grows ever more devastating, until eventually North's farcical menage-a-trois results in death and tragedy. But what is the real story and is the English master's version to be trusted? A dazzling psychological thriller, "North" is by turns erudite, audacious and brilliantly witty. An utterly assured and wholly original debut. "Brian Martin's North spins a ripe, Fowlesian tale of sexual and spiritual intrigue ..." - "The Independent".
