In the title novella, Rome is the stunning backdrop for a renowned novelists dangerous affair. Uncle Spencer is the exquisite (New Statesman) tale of an aging World War I veterans quest for the lost love he met in a prison during the war, and Two or Three Graces, probably the thing nearest perfection of all that [Huxley] has done (New Statesman), recounts a destructive writers abusive relationship with an impressionable housewife.
