?A liltingly moving piece of writing from a wonderfully fruity romancerOCO - Financial Times Where Darcy departing Dublin descends on his darkly decrepit desmesne, skint as a boiled bone. There to ponder his leaking, bat-ridden birthright, devilishly diverted by sexy Miss von B and readily rolled up by Ronald Rashers. And Sees Leila. Lovely, lissome Leila ? who tells him no. A definite negative. So Darcy is back to Dublin and the noisome stews to dream of the one bright star in his eternal darkness ? As ThereOCOs foolOCOs gold at the end of every Irish rainbow, and tarnished silver linings in every cloud, so thereOCOs a shimmer on the far horizon for this particular broth of a boy. His future is disastrous, his present indecent, his past divine. He is Darcy Dancer, youthful squire of Andromeda Park, the great gray stone mansion inhabited by Crooks, the cross eyed butler, and the sexy, aristocratic Miss Von B. This sequel to The Destinies of Darcy Dancer, Gentleman finds our hero falling in with decidedly low company ? like the dissolute Dublin poet, Foxy Slattery, and Ronald Rashers, who absconds with the family silver ? before falling head over heels in love with the lissome Leila.
