A Compass Error by Sybille Bedford
In this sequel to The Favourite of the Gods, seventeen-year-old Flavia lives in the south of France in the late 1930s with the confidence and ardor of youth. She believes her destiny lies at Oxford and in public service, a view shaped by her idolized English father and her Italian mother, Constanza. When an intrigue that will decide the fate of those she loves draws her in, she begins to discover her true nature as she loses the bearings of her moral compass.
