Brother Of The More Famous Jack - Softcover

Bright and stylish Katherine is offered a place at university to study philosophy by Jacob Goldman. She little expects to find herself in his home, a rambling, messy house in Sussex - and in love with his beautiful son Roger. When the affair ends badly she flees to Rome, determined to put them all behind her. But she returns 10 years later to discover that their lives are inextricably bound, and old wounds do heal. 'Its high spirits are irresistible. Like Moll Flanders, the heroine is unstoppable' - Sunday Telegraph
