It is Christmas Eve, and John Rivers is thinking about the past; about his sheltered upbringing; about an extraordinary time spent as a lab assistant to the great physicist Henry Maartens; about Maartens' beautiful wife, Katy, and about a love affair which shook Rivers to the core and caused him to question everything he once revered. Review: Excellent seller - Great book.. Review: Huxley's reliably good, but - This particular one, no more than a novella, is really absurdly expensive.

Not the best of Huxley
Not the best of Huxley, but engaging all the same. A short book - more of a novella - with a suprisingly abrupt ending. As a later Huxley work, it is surprisingly (but enjoyably) light on metaphysic, and more down to earth.
