Kitty Crozier wakes up in a hospital ward and finds a stranger looking down at her. She watches him as he gets up, smiles at her, and goes away. Months later, in Green Park, she encounters him again. They speak to each other for the first time, and on an impulse she invites him to visit her the following day. He is convinced that she has given him a false address and phone number, and is happily surprised when she answers his call. He arrives at her house and after a brief exchange they make love. Thus begins the most important, most demanding, most exhilarating relationship of Kitty's life.Kitty and Virgil is Paul Bailey's most ambitious novel to date. Although it is set in the 1980s it ranges back in time to 1930s Romania and to England in the 1950s. It is above all the story of two extraordinary families and the interweaving of their histories and secrets.
