Opis

Haffner is charming, morally suspect, sexually omnivorous, vain, possessed of more hair than is his natural right. He is British and Jewish and a widower. But when was Haffner ever really married? Or Jewish? When was he ever attached? There are so many stories of Haffner: but this, the most secret, is the greatest of them all.
