Plot / Content:

'When David Crown, retired newsreader, widowed and living with his daughter, decides to get back in touch with his estranged twin-sister Diana, he expects to open up the past but not the future . . .

'Diana, a doctor, has lived with her lover for over 40 years but Constance is no longer sane and her views on the world are bizarre. Coming into this unconventional situation, David find himself more at home than with his straightforward, all-American younger family. The three evolve a strange triangle of understanding that bewilders and eventually enriches those close to them.

'A powerful novel without stereotypes that deals with an unusual world; the days when the body fades and the mind begins a journey of its own.'
