"J'ai adoré ma mère, je ne l'ai pas aimée. De son côté, j'étais pour elle l'enfant des bois, le fruit d'une volupté inouïe : ce fruit, elle l'avait nourri dans sa dévotion enfantine, retour de la folle tendresse, angoissée et gaie, qu'elle me donnait, rarement, mais qui m'éblouissait. J'étais né de l'éblouissement de ses jeux d'enfant, et je crois qu'elle n'aima jamais un homme. [...] elle n'eut dans sa vie qu'un violent désir, celui de m'éblouir et de me perdre dans le scandale où elle se voulait perdue."

This wonderfully ingenious portrait of an art expert and collector of international renown is told in stylish, elegant prose and endowed with lavish portions of Davies' wit and wisdom.

Je voulais dire à mon grand-père que je l'aimais, mais je n'y suis pas parvenu. J'ai si souvent été en retard sur les mots que j'aurais voulu dire. Je ne pourrai jamais faire marche arrière vers cette tendresse. Sauf peut-être avec l'écrit, maintenant. Je peux le lui dire, là.

In his youth, Orlando is a passionate lover and poet. He dotes on the Queen, serves King James faithfully, falls deeply in love with a Russian princess, and becomes an ambassador to Constantinople, but at his heart all Orlando ever wants to be is a great writer (and living at the same time as Marlowe, Donne, and Shakespeare, this is no easy thing).
