Dafina is a young Eastern European educated woman who wants to change the world using her pacifist ideals. In the turmoil of her life and losing her dear father, a chance encounter changes her life forever. Griffin is a typical millionaire playboy with an excessive lifestyle to match. Also fatherless, he deeply searches for direction in his otherwise pointless existence. Taut relationships with his sister Aspen and her boyfriend Alex enable him to believe his lavish lifestyle, disconnected tenderness and liberal aggression towards others is not only acceptable but required. The original book is compared to The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald) and has been adapted for cinema by Ilana Rein and the late British director, Ken Russell. "Set against a background of international conflict, this is a clever and ingenious novel about love, loss and stolen identity. Huxley has an admirable grasp of structure and character." Dame Beryl Bainbridge DBE "Pitched somewhere between the drama of TV's Dynasty and the pampered indolence of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and the Damned, Jane Huxley's second novel begins in the world of the super rich and privileged... A bittersweet chronicle set against a backdrop of contemporary anxiety and personal weakness." Erica Sissons - Daily Express "Glitter and gutter...lovelorn, war-torn. A compelling read."
