Bruce Stewart Hector's Fixed Idea

SANWAL

Dinsdale Landen in Hector's Fixed Idea (The Absurd Life and Times of Hector Berlioz) by Bruce Stewart. With Elizabeth Bell as Harriet Smithson Peter Woodthorpe as Rossini   and Clive Swift as Liszt I suppose I've got to tell you the truth: but under protest. It's like this. My sweetheart in Paris wrote to me saying she intended to marry her elderly admirer. I thought I should return and shoot her for her faithlessness, and the admirer because - well, he really is very elderly; it seemed to me it might be a kindness to him. I dressed as a woman because I hoped in that way to look less like an avenging lover thirsty for blood.
