The respected Executive Director of an insurance company, Harald, and his doctor wife, Claudia, are faced with something that could never happen to them: their son Duncan has committed murder, shooting dead the male partner in a couple with whom he had extraordinary relations.
What kind of loyalty do a mother and father owe a son who has committed the unimaginable horror? How could he have ignored the sanctity of human life? What have they done to influence his character; how have they failed him?
Nadine Gordimer's new novel is a passionate narrative of the complex manifestations of that final test of human relations we call love -- between lovers of all kinds, and parents and children. It moves with the restless pace of living itself; if it is a parable of present violence, it is also an affirmation of the will to reconciliation that starts where it must, between individual men and women.
