Territorial Rights

by Muriel Spark · 1979

+ Want to read

Wheels spin within wheels in Spark's comedy of betrayals and terrorism, set in her beloved Venice.

Layers of intrigue; triangulating love affairs; murders; international spy-craft; adultery; parental interference; the sweet careless rapture of youth; unmarked graves — Territorial Rights claims much ground and Muriel Spark enjoys a wicked dance on it.
