"In John Julian Apostasius Pybus there was something of the Roman emperor, a touch of stoicism, of mobility which common men have not. It was a nobility lost, however, on his own children, for both Conrad and Probyn, grown wealthy and important, were ashamed of him. It is left to his grandson, Lance, to discover him as he is. In this novel of two generations, both misunderstood by the generation that stands between them, find a rare sympathy and a mutual understanding in each other's outlook." (from the jacket).
