Dinah, Willie, and Susan have long outlived the scandal associated with their ten-year-old menage-a-trois. Dinah, an avante-garde compler, treasures her independence. Yet it takes Willie's kindness and Susan's fire to sustain her. Willie is a left-wing sculptor in a right-wing age. And Susan, his wife, is a fabric designer who craves glamour, wealth, and the attentions of the summer people who visit Cape Cod every year. Then one summer, the balance shifts. Passions are tested, honesty forsaken, and the trio must face the changes brought by their beautiful visitors . . .

Strange as their menage a trois looks from the outside, Dinah, W illie, and Susan have for ten years satisfied each others' needs. Then one summer, the balance shifts, and their passions are tested. The author of the bestselling Gone to Soldiers turns her narrative gifts to a complex story of passion and romance among three sensual Cape Cod artists.
