- Summary:
- In his first novel since "The Untouchable", Banville gives us the intensely emotional story of a man discovering for the first time who he has been and what he is becoming. Alexander Cleave, a famous and suddenly failing actor, has retreated to his empty childhood home in hopes that, hidden from his audience, he might finally stop performing and simply be. But the house is unexpectedly populated: by memories, apparitions, and the unsettling presence of the caretaker.
