The Bath Fugues is Castro at his best, in a wonderful performance wrought from intrigue, romance, deception and comedy. The book is composed of three interwoven novellas, the first centred on an ageing art forger; the second on a Portuguese poet, opium addict and collector; the third told by a well- connected doctor.
