Thrice hitched to allegory: The Wonder Lover by Malcolm Knox

In his fifth novel, Malcolm Knox offers a parable on marriage and identity. The Wonder Lover, Sunil Badami writes, ‘constantly forces us, suspended between disbelief and implausibility, to keep questioning our own ideas of love, family, truth, beauty – and, in a way many novels do not, narrative itself’.
