Isabel Colegate's renowned trilogy tells the story of Orlando King, who rose to ambiguous power during the moral confusion of the 1930s, his spectacular downfall and the troubled legacy bequeathed to his divided family. As the 1950s draw to a close, his courageous daughter Agatha accomplishes the painful resolution. Echoes of Greek tragedy and myth add depth to Colegate's vivid account of three turbulent decades.
