A biography of the classical composer. It was a bit dry and I had to struggle to finish it.
Delius was a dirty boy who rampaged around Parisian brothels in his youth, had an illegitimate child on a Florida orange plantation and then got his comeuppance when syphilis left him paralysed and blind for the last decade of his life. But this book airbrushes all that out! What's the point?
