Product Description

From the Author
About the novel and the Author
A novel of intrigue, adventure and explicit sexuality. An English teacher flees the threat of death across the world in the company of his provocative pupil.

When the diffident and ineffectual Derek Mann loses his teaching job in a girls' grammar school and drifts from one temporary post to another, one of his precocious pupils gives him her grandfather's wartime diary with a mission to return to Apartheid South Africa and find the opal mine she believes to be her rightful inheritance. Intrigue and violence bedevil the quest which ends in a desert under the Southern Cross. The wry, often laconic style gives full reign to the characters' latent sexuality.

About the Author:

Humphrey Muller, once a professor of English in South Africa during the Apartheid years, moved to Scotland to devote more time to creative writing. He has since written a number of novels (A Twist in Time, The Cage and the Cross, Wheel of Fortune, Continental Drift), and with his wife Carolyn has co-authored two novels (Rapture at Sea and Spirit of Ecstasy by 'Carolyn Charles').

5.0 out of 5 stars A tour de force of sex and adventure!, 4 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wheel of Fortune (Paperback)
This is a gripping novel of intrigue, adventure and explicit sexuality! An English teacher flees the threat of death across the world in the company of his provocative pupil.

When the diffident and ineffectual Derek Mann loses his teaching job in a girls' grammar school and drifts from one temporary post to another, one of his precocious pupils gives him her grandfather's wartime diary with a mission to return to Apartheid South Africa and find the opal mine she believes to be her rightful inheritance. Intrigue and violence bedevil the quest which ends in a desert under the Southern Cross. The wry, often laconic style gives full reign to the characters' latent sexuality. Some of it might have been written by Graham Greene! The male characters at times feel like burnt-out cases -- cynical and dissipated. One might say the heroine Jacquie brings the main character back to life.

An anjoyable and compelling read! The sexuality is convincing though at times a little startling -- like the stawberry scene at the end of volume two!
