Set against a rich background of American and European society, here is a stunning panorama of three unique individuals whose lives have been emotionally interwoven over three decades.CLAIRE: Fragile, intense, seeker of truths, lover of causes, a combination of the conventional and the nonconformist.SOPHIE: Temptuous, sensuous, insatiably curious, a TV star who is professionally tough and privately vulnerable.EDMUND: Russian émigré, painter, art historian, the focus in the women's lives, obsessed with the sacred and the profane."Emotionally satisfying...delightfully entertaining: a thoroughly adult novel in the fine original sense of the word." LOS ANGELES TIME BOOK REVIEW"Francine du Plessix Gray displays the one indispensable gift in a novelist - she generates slowly and authoritatively a mixed set of entirely credible human beings." THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW"A rich, generous book, romantic yet disciplined and brilliantly observed." COSMOPOLITAN
