Shorlisted for the 1972 Booker Prize and long out of print, this book tells the story of a young Jewish wife from San Francisco and a middle-aged Irish painter who meet in a village on the coast of Spain, and begin an affair during the coldest European winter in 200 years, all the while surrounded by a cast of characters as bizarre and hilarious as they are, finally, touching. This book is lyrical and humorous, and heartbreaking and hopeful.
