In this amazing love story, d'Iffinger challenges us to re-evaluate previously accepted norms, and even taboos, as we follow the broad cast of characters through the moral maze that is life and love in the twenty-first century.

The story is told by one of the two principal characters, Nathan, so the reader is intimately involved throughout and neither bystander or voyeur.

Nathan's family is English upper-middle class and some of the story is set on the family yacht based in the western Mediterranean which may be of particular interest to sailors and would-be sailors alike.

We experience life through Nathan's eyes, both the ecstasy and the tragedy, that will test the reader's emotions to the limit.

D'Iffinger confronts the explicit nature of love's sexual aspects with honesty and sensitivity, yet does not resort to any crudeness of language.
