Set in Sydney in the late-19th century, Albion Singer appears entirely proper - a husband, father and pillar of the community. But within him are dark places from which spring loathing and a fear of female flesh and the kind of violence that might call itself love.

Customer Reviews

Enter the mind of the narcissist
Ever been at the receiving end of a manipulator, a narcissist, a psychopath and wondered what was going through their minds?

Read this book and you'll start to understand how their desperately unhappy and empty minds work. How they get their thrills from setting you up and causing you hurt. See the world through the eyes of a man with no soul, no heart, so humanity.

The book is slow to get going but once Albion Gidley Singer reaches adulthood it is totally absorbing. The dark places of Mr Singer's mind are revealed slowly, thoroughly in their full horror.

A good book is one that changes you, so you are not the same person after you've read it as you were before. This book is a superb read if you seek to understand the reasons behind the insidious put-downs, the belittling, and the petty little cruelties that such people delight in.
