By the author of Hopeful Monsters , winner of the 1990 Whitbread Book of the Year Award.An eighteen-year-old boy travels with his parents to the west coast of Ireland where his father is involved in a wildlifestation where biologists study the causes of variations among species of birds. This research has centered on an island with ruins of cells where hermits in the Dark Ages had lived. The boy also falls in love with a young girl who, it seems, might be involved with gun-runners. Returning to university in England where he has intended to study Biology or Literature, he finds neither of these disciplines relevant. He goes back on his own to Ireland to try to discover what, if anything, those old hermits had been looking for. Is it possible that human nature, like a species of bird, might evolve and change?

"Natalie Natalia"?is Nicholas Mosley's brilliant examination of political life. It revolves around Anthony Greville, a conservative Member of Parliament who is tormented by his ambivalence toward his career, by his religious doubts, and by his adulterous affair with Natalia Jones, the enigmatic wife of a colleague. The course of their affair dramatizes love in its most creative and perilously destructive aspects, the two facets symbolized in the two names he has for his lover: "I sometimes called Natalia Natalie instead of Natalia," Greville says, "when she was the ravenous rather than the angelic angel... What Natalie said was often a code for what Natalia was meaning." Ranging in setting from England to Central Africa, the novel is a remarkable investigation of ethics, with fiction itself as an ethical activity.
