Antal Szerb, Journey by Moonlight

 I really enjoyed his anglophile 'The Pendragon Legend', and as 'Journey by Moonlight' is considered his masterpiece, I thought I'd give it a go. It was a little disappointing, being a standard story of bourgeois repressions and an attempt by each of the characters to escape from this and find meaning, but as often happens they just end up mooning around without any real problems until they reconcile with papa and he fixes it all.
