First American edition. Bowen was an Anglo-Irish writer who, although she lived primarily in England, maintained a large family estate, Bowen's Court, in County Cork, Ireland. She mixed with the Bloomsbury Group, becoming good friends with Rose Macaulay and welcomed Virginia Woolf, among others, to Bowen's Court. In the finest Bloomsbury tradition, Bowen had several extra-marital relationships including one with the American poet May Sarton. The present novel is concerned with the London blitz, Ireland, sex, spies and counter-spies. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.
