Is the father insane or merely sadistic, a man entombed in a spirit of malevolence? This 1925 novel by a perceptive observer explores the territory exceptionally. Portrait of a Man with Red Hair by Hugh Walpole This is Hugh Walpoles most venturesome, most exciting romance. Down to the town of Treliss on the Cornish coast came Harkness, a your American of Puritan cutlture and ideal, there to find the adventure and the love of his life, and pain the like of which he had never dreamed. Here the skill of Walpole turns to a tale of daring, a new expansion of his genius. The power of Fortitude, the bold characterizations of The Cathedral, the wistful quality of The Old Ladies, are combined here with an episode entirely astonishing, and worked out in an atmosphere of sharp suspense. GR review: A sort of gothic tale by a descendent of the author of The Castle of Otranto. Although written in 1925, Hugh Walpoles novel seems rather 19th century in style. Its a macabre tale of Harkness, a timid American, who travels throughout Europe with his etchings as his only friends. While in London he meets a man in a club who recommends that he visit a small town during its festival time. The next 24 hours change his life totally. He befriends a terrified young woman who is unhappily married and meets the man with red hair, a rich and sadistic man who loves to exert power over others by hurting them. Harkness rises to the occasion despite the threat of torture and finally feels love for others. Its macabre and sort of weird, but great descriptions. Walpole was a very popular author in the 1920s and 1930s but is now little read and is considered old fashioned.
