Beginning in Mrs. Sheerug’s garden, a boy grows up under the eye of an eccentric fairy-godmother figure, falls for the wilful Vashti and chases the ghost bird of romance from childhood to twenty-one and beyond. The book follows his long education in love and in the price of the freedom he thinks he wants.
