Awaiting safe passing to New York on the SS Manhattan, two couples meet: Pete and Julia Winters, expatriate Americans fleeing their sedate life in Paris; and Edward and Iris Freleng, superior, independently wealthy, bohemian, and beset by the public and sexual anxieties of the school. As Portugal's neutrality, and the world's future, hang in the total amount, the invisible threads in the lives of the four individuals - Julia's position as a Jew, Pete and Edward's improbable affair, Iris's more and more desperate efforts to save lots of her tenuous matrimony - commence to come loose. This voyage changes their lives irrevocably, as European countries sinks into war. Gorgeously written, sexually and politically costed, David Leavitt's long-awaited new book is an remarkable work.
