While reading this book I kept thinking about what the author chose to do with the plot, what he had the characters do. He is the creator of the story, and he can have the characters do whatever he wants. Consider the wide span of possibilities. Cronin alternates between suspense, action and love scenes, throwing in historical and cultural tidbits and descriptions of nature, both storms and scenery of evocative beauty. I like the blend of the components. I like how he weaves together the elements of the story. I find the characters and the events believable. He puts in the right details
As the story reaches its end, you need to know how the central character will act and how the story will conclude. Did I guess how it would end? No! Do I think the ending is believable? Yes!
I am praising the author鈥檚 character portrayals! With the passage of years, the central male character falls in love with three women. Each are very different. That he is carried away by their respective charms is influenced by his age and his overall personality, which we come to know well. All the threads come together. This is a captivating story that entertains, teaches and holds our attention all the way through.
The topics covered are the lure of art and food and 鈥渢he good life鈥� made available through money, missionary work in Africa, psychotic behavior, the need for love and control over one鈥檚 own destiny. Also, the feasibility of a search for redemption.
Stephen Jack reads the audiobook. The recording is old fashioned; it reads as a tape on books. The reading is not overly dramatized, but Jack鈥檚 intonations fit well the different characters. Each one sounds as they should sound. He adeptly alters their accents鈥擲cottish, German and American for example. For me, the narration is worth four stars.
The author makes each character b-e-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e! It is an enjoyment to slip into the world he creates. I will read all that I can get by this author!

A must read. Have lent to friends. This is a fictional tale where a man keeps meaning to follow his heart but is too ambitious and comfort seeking.
The main character is a weakling and fails miserably at having any real backbone or moral compass. Everything we despise about human nature (potentially to some degree within us all).
Despite his flaws he still has a few chances throughout the book for something true in life...
Enjoyable for alot of reasons.... The journey he takes is interesting and the explanation for the book's title is one of the books easily unnoticed but a profound highlight. The author and his ideas on morality and what matter in life are revealed throughout the book along wit the mechanics of how one easily deviates are laid out in the book.
It shows ultimately what appear to be small choices having a lifetime of meaning.
The writer's other book - A Pocked Full of Rye, has a main character that faces more difficult situation's and has the moral character that a reader would want. IMO it wasn't nearly as compelling as, but few books are. Although one friend enjoyed it more.

The title is a spoiler: a man betrays his heart for shallow worldly satisfactions, to find he can鈥檛 live with the shame.
Moray, the tragic protagonist, also betrays his calling of medicine; he鈥檚 slippery (like his namesake), and we spend most of this gripping novel more or less inside his head. Though a compelling writer, Cronin isn鈥檛 always consistent with his chosen point of view. We鈥檙e constantly privy to Moray鈥檚 thoughts, via close third person, but at times random details of his external appearance intrude. And the few, sudden switches of perspective 鈥� to whichever love interest, the butler etc. 鈥� are all the more jarring for their infrequency. A convenience for the sake of conveying the story, it feels oddly like cheating; which is at least apt for the theme.
What elevates this morality tale about flawed and seldom likable characters is its uncompromising contrasting of the path of self-indulgence and that of self-negating charity. Ultimately, Moray finds himself torn between the two and, due to a long history of bad habits, doomed 鈥� even damned 鈥� whichever he chooses.

One of the best books I've read. Dr. Cronin's narrative is exceptionally good as is his characterization and setting descriptions. His handling of the question of personal redemption is thought provoking and intense. It is hard to come away from this superbly gripping novel unmoved.

David Moray was orphaned and felt himself at a disadvantage. By scrimping and studying he put himself through medical school in order to become "somebody". A good head on his shoulders put his foot in the door but it was charm and charisma that pulled him through.
But sometimes enough is not enough; and even when one is happy there's the thought that one could be happier. This was David's problem.
This story is about David Moray and the four women in his life. It's not a happy story. But it's a great character study of a potentially great man's downfall.
Well worth a read. Cronin is such an honest, real writer. His characters breathe.

Very well written. Interesting story. Reminds me of some people I've known. I would suspect there is a bit of the main character's weaknesses in all of us.

Rileggo questo libro dopo tanti anni e lo apprezzo ancora di pi霉.
Croin ci racconta la vicenda del dottor David Moray che, ritiratosi in Svizzera, dopo una vita di egoismi, a godersi le proprie ricchezze, ritrova la ragazza che ha amato e abbandonato per un matrimonio economicamente conveniente e sulla figlia di lei riversa l'affetto che ha negato alla madre.
Il libro 猫 un'accorta, drammatica denuncia contro l'avidit脿, la grettezza, la malvagit脿 degli uomini e della societ脿. Una storia sull鈥檈goismo e sull鈥檌ncapacit脿 di amare, in cui il protagonista incarna l鈥檜omo che vive solo per se stesso. Anche anche quando cercher脿 di fare la cosa giusta, animato dalle pi霉 nobili intenzioni, finir脿 per essere assalito da mille dubbi e incertezze e sceglier脿 comunque la strada pi霉 conveniente e semplice per lui.
芦Era un brutto sogno, un incubo, impossibile capire come ci fosse arrivato. Aveva creduto di far bene, cercato di agire per il meglio. Oh, Dio, s矛. aveva tentato con tutte le sue forze, aveva desiderato tanto fare del bene a tutti. Volontariamente non avrebbe mai fatto del male nemmeno a una mosca. Non si poteva fargliene una colpa se, animato dalle migliori intenzioni, si era fidato troppo delle propri forze ed era poi stato costretto a tirarsi indietro禄.

An excellent writer, portrays uncomfortable human characteristics insightfully. I did find myself feeling the lack of a 鈥渃ontinental鈥� education, wishing there was a glossary in the book. If you know a little Scottish, German, French and Italian, then you鈥檒l understand little details that I let go rather than look up a translation. I was surprised by a few English words I didn鈥檛 know, as well, considering that I have a very good vocabulary. Usually when this happens in books it鈥檚 because they鈥檙e older books, just using words or expressions that have gone out of vogue. This story is copyrighted 1961, but the language felt older. I did keep feeling like I didn鈥檛 know WHEN it was鈥攚hat year. I concluded from mention of a Jew being killed & his non-Jewish wife going into a concentration camp that every reference to 鈥渢he war鈥� meant World War II. But back in his younger days, & then in the 鈥減resent鈥�, I still felt 鈥渦nmoored鈥� in time. Perhaps not absolutely necessary, as human nature hasn鈥檛 changed, but it still felt disorienting. This feels like one of those books I wish I鈥檇 read as part of a class or guided book discussion group鈥攖o discuss the characters鈥� strengths & flaws & what made them so & is there hope for change, & why the title. The word 鈥渕alleable鈥� kept coming to my mind regarding Moray. I went back & reread the first 3 chapters to remind myself what he鈥檇 said about the Judas Tree, & what it was that had triggered his trip back to Scotland.

In some ways this is a decent little morality tale for grownups, but I spent the entirety of the read loathing the main character who is the worst kind of villain, the sort that imagines himself a victim and, aside from his wealth, is all too commonly found. The minor characters also come off as rather flat, awful themselves or lacking in the spark that might give them the clear sight to see Moray as he is and pick up on the red flags he drops. While I don't find any obvious faults in the writing, it's not particularly clever either. Overall... the mechanics of a solid story are there, but I can't say I enjoyed it.
