This is a love story of great beauty and great tenderness, the kind of love story that entangles the listener in the lives of the characters, so that after the story is over, one continues to live with those characters.

Howard Fast has placed the entire action of this highly charged novel in the space of one day at the substantial home of a prominent United States senator.

This is a profound and important novel with the dramatic intensity of first-class theater.
