‘The bishop was feeling rather sea-sick. Confoundedly sea-sick, in fact.’

An Anglican bishop, on recuperative leave from his African diocese, alights at the island of Nepenthe for a short stay on his passage to England. Soon he is caught up in the wild and exuberant antics of visitors and residents.

Norman Douglas’s famed, and infamous, novel of Capri is a hedonistic journey and an unforgettable classic.
