Publisher's Synopsis
When a privileged young doctor falls in love with a handsome black man, he searches for the courage to follow his heart down an unexpected path, leaving behind a wife, children and a promising political career. Can Brendan give up his white-bread world of servants and cocktail parties? Can Jonathan leave the security of his job to pursue his dream of becoming an opera singer? And can their love survive the stigma of homosexuality and subtle racism that is still very much part of society? This is a novel that reaches out across boundaries of class, race and culture.
