Babel Tower

At the heart ofBabel Towerare two law cases, twin strands of the Establishment's web, that shape the story: a painful divorce and custody suit and the prosecution of an 'obscene' book. Frederica, the independent young heroine, is involved in both. She startled her intellectual circle of friends by marrying a young country squire, whose violent streak has now been turned against her. Fleeing to London with their young son, she gets a teaching job in an art school, where she is thrown into the thick of the new decade.
