Description From the acclaimed author comes a brilliant, challenging novel about a bohemian family in 1970s London and the consequences of a taboo relationship Ralph Boyd 's first glimpse of 9 year-old Daphne will be etched on his mind forever. Dark, teasing, slippery as mercury, she seems neither boy nor girl, but sprite something elemental. An up-and-coming composer, Ralph is visiting the writer Edmund Greenslay at his riverside home in Putney to discuss a collaboration. In its colourful rooms and unruly garden, Ralph finds an intoxicating world of sensuous ease and bohemian abandon that captures the mood of the moment. Entranced, he knows he will return. But Ralph is twenty-five and Daphne is only a child, and even in the liberal 1970s a fast-burgeoning relationship between a man and his friend 's daughter must be kept secret.

He went independent in the late 1980s and has made many award-winning films and series, including those for Nature such as: Eagles of Mull, Echo: An Elephant to Remember, Siberian Tiger Quest, and Big Birds Can’t Fly. His film The Egg (w.t.) is scheduled to air in Nature’s 2018-19 season. A self-described “failed professional footballer,” Birkhead credits his academic brother’s discipline and passion for natural history with the discovery of his own love for the natural world. After gaining a doctorate and spending two years at post-doctoral work in the department of zoology at the University of Oxford, he joined London Weekend Television (LWT) in 1984. Looking back at that time, Birkhead calls his career move “pure good fortune as LWT encouraged entrepreneurship and independence.” He worked in the current affairs and features department for five years on a variety of programs, including live entertainment programs, commercials for the community unit, and game shows. He then left to set up his own company while at the same time making wildlife films for the highly regarded Partridge Films, which was led by the “brilliant and esoteric” Michael Rosenberg.
