Wore the best clothes, went to the best parties and bedded down with the best lovers all over the world, and tried hard not to wonder what was missing.
[end blurb]
Kit marries her boyfriend, lawyer Michael Matheson, but when their first son is born and is diagnosed as autistic she finds that her dream man isn't quite what she hoped.
Kate turns down Michael's proposal and becomes a highly successful advertising executive, but when at last she falls in love with a married man, she finds that freedom isn't free.
An interesting exploration of alternate lives.
