Chris Minaar is a writer; a distinguished South African writer, an old writer, a writer who has lost whatever gift he had for writing. It is on New Year's Eve, courtesy of his stalled car, that he meets Rachel, a young sculptress, a good samaritan who becomes the great love of his life, a love greater for being unfulfilled.

From Daphne, the troubled dancer, to Bonnie, his authoritarian father's
