Andrew & Tobias

The Feltons are a family with a long lineage stretching back beyond the Norman Conquest. They now have a daughter Ianthe but prior to her birth Tobias or Toby was fostered and then adopted as their heir after he had miraculously survived the sinking of a refugee ship by a German U-Boat. Then someone who is clearly Toby''s twin turns up as an under-gardener. He had been fostered by a Scottish couple now dead. There is now general and disturbed confusion on everyone''s part - including the boys themselves. Stewart explores magnificently the nature of the complicated relationships including those from outside of the family such as Toby''s lover; the irony of the situation; and the many ramifications of class and culture in the absurd situation the characters find themselves.
