In Colin Thubron's 'A Cruel Madness', Daniel Pashter, a middle-aged schoolmaster, meets Sophia, the only woman he has ever loved, in a mental hospital after a ten-year separation. This encounter may be a product of Daniel's imagination. The novel explores passion, delusion, and reality mingling with unreality, all pervaded by a deep longing and loss.
