` Unlike anything I`ve read. Haunting & huge, & funny & sensuous. It`s wonderful` Tessa Hadley It is the 17th century & a wall is being built around a great house. Wychwood is an enclosed world, its ornamental lakes & majestic avenues planned by Mr Norris, landscape-maker. A world where everyone has something to hide after decades of civil war, where dissidents shelter in the forest, lovers linger in secret gardens, & migrants, fleeing the plague, are turned away from the gate. Three centuries later, another wall goes up overnight, dividing Berlin, while at Wychwood, over one hot, languorous weekend, erotic entanglements are shadowed by news of historic change. A little girl, Nell, observes all. Nell grows up & Wychwood is invaded. There is a pop festival by the lake, a TV crew in the dining room & a Great Storm brewing. As the Berlin wall comes down, a fatwa signals a different ideological faultline & a refugee seeks safety in Wychwood.
