In this novel about the corruption of innocence (one of Unsworth`s favorite themes), first published in England in 1970, the author alternates between two narrators: the antisocial, cunning, and voyeuristic Simon and the innocent, weak-willed gardener, Josh. Simon has constructed a system of tunnels and blinds on the estate belonging to his sister, Audrey, in order to spy on a sexy neighbor and to escape his otherwise dull and ordinary existence. When Audrey hires Josh as the gardener, Simon is afraid he will discover the tunnels, but instead the affair between Josh and the teenaged housekeeper, Marion, fuels a new voyeuristic enterprise. For his part, Josh is torn between his fascination for the social dynamics of his new surroundings and his overly trusting relationship with Mortimer, a sinister older man he met while working a stall at an amusement park, and with whom he shares all the news of his new employers--a situation that leads to inevitable (but surprising and unpredictable) disaster.
