Synopsis
Robert Rylands, a university archaeologist who has been lost from sight for the last ten years, returns to Oxford when he is about to turn 70. He spends a whole night making a voluntary statement at Archdale police station. His story establishes links between several people: the redhead called Jill, her daughter, Sue, the Indian girl, Ahira, the black student, Abraham Jones, and the Spanish boy, Juan Noguera, who has just arrived to give a course on literature. Rylands' declaration uncovers his long-standing, intimate relationship with Alfred Cromer-Blake. The news that Cromer-Blake's days are numbered make what is Robert Rylands' last journey into a personal emotional experience
