"It's 1985 and on South Africa's beautiful West Coast ten friends get together. Mila, a successful journalist and a newcomer to this circle of friends, finds herself powerfully attracted to Adriaan - despite her relationship with literary dreamer Ralph. Adriaan, a sensuous artist, is fascinated by all women, while his idealistic wife, Yvette, seems to turn a blind eye to his philandering. Disillusioned Philip is having a troubled relationship with Emma, who also longs to write, while Liane and her handsome lawyer husband, Paul, seem the model couple, perfectly matched. And Liane's childhood sweetheart, Max, the political activist, brings with him another stranger to this group - Bobby, a frail young woman who knows more of the heartache of South Africa's politics than anyone else there."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
