First published 1984. Edited with Introduction and Epilogue by Harold Harris. In March 1983, the bodies of Arthur and Cynthia Koestler were discovered in their home in Montpelier Square. He was 77, she was 55. It was suicide: Arthur Koestler had been suffering terribly from Parkinson's Disease and leukemia. Cynthia, his second wife and former secretary, had devoted her life to him and now seemed to have sacrificed it completely. Among Koestler's papers, Harold Harris, friend and literary executor to the Koestlers for many years, found a manuscript. It was the third unfinished volume of Koester's autobiography, written jointly with Cynthia, and covering much of their life together. Its pages revealed a relationship which explained Cynthia's suicide, a decision which shocked so many of her friends and associates.
