Falcon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739117344)

Falcon is a roaring, racy ode to the Swinging Sixties, to a new world of openness, sex, drugs, and jazz, to Oxford intelligentsia and London bohemia, including its underworld and budding gay scene.

The novel's breathless, page-turning narrative comes enriched by Nina Stanger's first-hand experience as a key player in London's 1960s counterculture and is infused with a tragic pathos stemming from her deep interest in the Romantics and the Aesthetes: Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, John Keats, and Oscar Wilde.

Rich, layered, and allusive, Falcon is also uproariously funny and engaging, mixing the satirical wit of Kingsley Amis, the emotional nuance of E.M. Forster, and the erotic charge of D.H. Lawrence.
