DescriptionFree choice? There's no such thing, according to Lee Morris, architect, engineer, jobbing builder, and entrepreneur. Choice is pre-ordained by your personality, he says. Stratton Park racecourse, privately owned, faces ruin in the hands of a squabbling family. Lee, loosely connected but not related, is slowly sucked into the turmoil, unwillingly on the surface but half-understanding the deep compulsions that influence his decision. One road leads to safety, another to death. How do you know when you must choose? How do you know which? Lee's choices and their consequences bring deadly results, but the road out of the quicksand is there, if he can find it.
DescriptionI have come to believe that there can be no adequate preparation for the sadness that comes at the end, the sheer regret that one's life is finished, that one's failures remain indelible and one's successes illusory.

When they meet again in their thirties, Elizabeth, married to the safe, older Digby, is relieving the boredom of a cosy but childless marriage with an affair. Betsy seems to have found real romance in Paris. Are their lives taking off, or are they just making more of the wrong choices without even realising it?
