Tartini's Rest

Tales Two Brothers Told
Consisting of a sequence stories told by two very different brothers, this novel explores the boundaries between fact and fiction, truth and counterfeit, vision, reality, the imagination, fantasy and lies.

"Without Contraries is no progression." - William Blake

Bertram and Eustace are brothers. Bertram is extroverted, practical, a celebrity and a social success. Eustace is introverted, scholarly and shyly oblique. They understand neither themselves nor one another. Instead, they tell one another stories.


Only two people see through their defences: their cousin Mimi, a retired violinist who lives in 'Tartini's Rest', and Kariba, a literary genius from Africa, Bertram's nemesis and Eustace's fraternal friend.
