I've thought about you often, mostly unkindly. But there: I have thought about you.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNearly twenty years after Vita broke off contact with Royce, he writes to her, determined to excavate the past. He is older than her, a ghost from her university days, a former benefactor she has tried hard to forget. In his own youth, Royce spent two fateful summers working on a dig in Pompeii with a woman he would later memorialize with a scholarship - the same one that Vita eventually received.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom opposite sides of the world, Royce and Vita enter into an adversarial dance: an attempt to settle old accounts. Profoundly addictive and unsettling, In the Garden of the Fugitives is a thrilling psychological examination of what happens when the lines are blurred between victim and predator, between loyalty and obsession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Ceridwen Dovey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Strange and richly imagined, haunting and atmospheric...
