Description

On a trip to Leningrad, English antique dealer Paul Hussey finds it more difficult than he expected to sell twenty dozen dresses on the black market. Meanwhile his wife Belinda, who is coming to terms with her latent lesbianism, has disappeared into a Soviet hospital.

First Sentence

'AND what,' asked (loudly because of the music) this patrician parrot of a Tiresias from its wheelchair, skirt or trousers hidden by tartan rugs, 'might be your purpose in going to St Petersburg?'
