another success Moores new book a classical romance By Robert Nielsen Herald Special The Temptation of Eileen Hughes McClelland and Stewart 111 page has a lovetriangle plot that would be implausible If the principal wcrcn Irish and if its creator Brian Moore whose characters and situations always ring true Eileen a beautiful and innocent virgin of on a luxurious theatregoing art viewing visit to London as an allexpenses paid her rich friends and employers Bernard and Mona McAuley Our heroine is so naive she assumes it was Mrs McAuley who wanted her along She becomes uneasy when Bernard spends nearly all his time witlf her as a guide and tutor on cuisine architecture and history while goes her own way But she t realize what up until Bernard blurts out his half formed plan to buy a Regency mansion for her In the Irish countryside Mona would live there too maintain her facade of marriage FOR THREE Eileen Is appalled and the rest of the action of the book consists largely of her to get out of he clutches For she is part of a dismal deal between them In ex change for tolerating Ber nard s obsession with Eileen is free to amuse herself with other men including strangers picked up in bars during lo London and the Continent But never In the lr home town of Lismore Northern Ireland where the appearance of a normally married couple must be kept up no breath or scandal The first printed cook book came off the just years after Gutenbergs first Bible Eileen temptation is not o whom she finds physically repel la nor is it to accept the life of privileged ease he offers to which still clings with savage determination What Eileen must fight against is the inclination of her complaisant conventional to defer to rich powerful benefactors MYSTIC LOVE Indeed the question of be coming mistress kind of passion he brings to her He not only separates sex from love but insists they are He says that real love far from resembling physical de sire is like the love of a mystic feels for God It worship Some years earlier Bernard had in fact unsuccessfully offered his love to God by joining a monastic order in an idealized Eileen as perfect as God In his eyes he has created a substitute whom he worships with a devotion that fills up his Inner life Few women could bus tain such an ideal outside the medieval tradition of courtly love which kept the lady and her adoring knight safely apart and Eileen is not one of the few When we meet her she Is beauty aside ordinary to point of banality So Bert rand love Is doomed even before he declares it After his declaration he story moves swiftly and tense ly to a tragic climax for Bertram and a moral victory for Eileen In that she wins her Independence from the while gaining strength and insight from the struggle Mona gets to keep he McAu ley wealth which was all she ever wanted of after he slopped have sexual relat Ions with her The writing as always with Brian Moore is clear and lean too lean perhaps for read who enjoy the rich texture of classic novels wherein the cultural selling of a story is Illuminated not Just Indicated or implied A country where religion still interferes with lust perhaps the last such in the Western world is worth more exploration lhat Moore gives it Moore fans will miss Ihe humorous and heart warming touches lhat graced some of his earlier books notably the Luck of Ginger Coffey and The Emperor of Ice Cream There also a lack of symp athetic characters in this book Eileen barely qualifies Mona Is detestable and Ber nard Is pi liable but not likable We are left with the grim story ably told of a man seeking on impossible rescue from the wreck of his private life would make an absorbing play as a novel it isn l up to Moore a beat Which amounts tosayinglhal compared to Ihe ordinary run of current fiction It is merely excellent ralhor than superb EDITOR NOTE Robert Kllbara B Is a freelance writer HEM OVER 2ND WEEK ONI Of I III if HI NCI THAI PG ha i jOI I I i ia- ami Arm
