Claudia Hampton--beautiful, famous, independent--is dying. As memories crowd in, Claudia recreates the richly patterned mosaic of her life and times, from childhood just after the First World War to the present day. But as Claudia discovers, her story is enmeshed with the stories of others, and they too must speak: Gordon, her brother and adored adversary; Jasper, charming, untrustworthy lover and father of Lisa, her cool, conventional daughter--and, at the centre of Claudia`s life--Tom, her one great love, both found and lost in wartime Egypt.
