I came across this book by accident and didn't have any idea what to expect. By the end of the first absurdly beautiful chapter, I realised that I was reading one of the best books that I have ever put my hands on.
William Watson takes the reader into the world of a rundown castle in Mediaeval Provence. The world of a noble family gone mad. A knight whose terrible history of glory in battle gone wrong has left him in a state of permanent flight from reality. His beautiful wife, still strangely attached and in love, though possibly more with herself than with anyone else. The captain of the guards who would do almost anything for her. Their daughter, budding, immature and for the most part ignored. It will take the arrival of a young murderer, a rare guest at their table, to bring the sleeping insanity of the castle to its senses, though, by the end of the book, it is difficult to tell what is sane and what is not.
We are dragged through leaps of logic and labyrinthine psychological games of an absurdity only rivalled by their lucidity. We laugh, but sometimes only because of the ridiculous reality of a situation. We smell Provence and we hold our noses at the stench from inside a coat of armour. We luxuriate in his vocabulary and metaphor.
We want to read more, but we find, somehow, William Watson's other novels out of print!

I can't imagine what Watson was trying to do with this story. There is a little of Chaucer, Cervantes, Undset, and a whole lot of silliness. I read to the end, but the moral wasn't any clearer than it seemed to be at the beginning. The best thing about the novel was the cover illustration - and even it seemed contrived, the light coming from at least two and maybe three sources, and all of them unlikely. Sorry, Watson, you went offbase with this one!!!
