Edward Blakeston-Smith sets out to ensnare a conman in Wimbledon - a thief of the heart

From the offices of her Love Department, Lady Dolores cures the heartaches of the lonely wives of Wimbledon with inimitable flourish and finesse. When her newest protege, the somewhat naive Edward Blakeston-Smith, is sent on a mission - to learn the secrets of seductive, scheming Septimus Tuam and stop him in his tracks - he learns all about love, its friends and enemies.

A dark comedy, The Love Department was William Trevor's third novel, published in 1966.
