The fates of three powerful women--Laura, Tess, and Diana--and one man, charismatic politician Haydon Lancaster, tragically collide on the eve of the 1964 Democratic National Convention
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Set in the early 1960s, Gage's second novel is in the same vein as her first, the best seller A Glimpse of Stocking : an overblown epic filled with intrigue, personal problems, and gratuitous sex. Haydon Lancaster, the sensual scion of a super-wealthy U.S. family becomes a politician and rises rapidly through the ranks, meeting up with many women on the way. Of course, he gets it in the end, as a result of one of these illicit liaisons. The plot is far-fetched and hard to follow, and the myriad characters are one-dimensional and lifeless. There may be some demand since this is to be serialized in Cosmopoli tan .
