The comforters
Muriel Spark (Author), Allan Massie (Writer of introduction)
Caroline Rose is plagued by the tapping of typewriter keys and the strange, detached narration of her every thought and action. Caroline has an unusual problem - she realises she is in a novel. Her fellow characters also seem deluded: Laurence, her former lover, finds diamonds in a loaf of bread - has his elderly grandmother hidden them there? And Baron Stock, her bookseller friend, believes he is on the trail of England's leading Satanist.In Muriel Spark's brilliant first novel, the only things that aren¡t ambiguous are her matchless originality and glittering wit
