Phillipa Kohn's personal ego and strength that enabled her to control all the people around her convinced this daughter of wealthy Jewish parents that she could control her political environment in Germany as well. Then came Hitler and Nazism and World War II. Her marriage to weak Walter Penmann, a non-Jewish university professor, a union of convenience and occasional manipulative sex for her and adoring frustration for him, protected her for a while. When she is ultimately sent to a concentration camp, Walter goes off to join the anti-Nazi resistance. The horrors of the camps for her, the dangerous adventures for him, the self-discoveries of both, including all-encompassing sex that they could not find with each other, mark the dramatic changes for them and in the lives and deaths of other unforgettable characters, set against a warning of personal and public complacency that is as meaningful today as it was at that time.

Julia loves her artist friends living in New York City's Greenwich Village in the 1950's post-World War II euphoria of peace, freedom and opportunity. For security she marries Walter, a super-salesman who gives her a house in upscale New Rochelle, a country club and a Cadillac but who derides "Bohemian artistes.". Her stifling life with Walter prompts Julia to . .return frequently to her Village friends, including Jack, her first lover and best friend; Ben, who offers her unconditional love; and Joe, charming, irresponsible and with sex-to-die-for. Their lives intertwine as they seek self-understanding and fulfillment of their abilities and dreams. Their lives are framed against the background of McCarthyism's political witch hunts and suppression of free speech. When life with Walter becomes unbearable, Julia decides to leave him. Who will she go to? Jack? Ben? Joe? They have moved on with their lives. Is it too late? Is there no choice but to go back to Walter?The atmosphere of New York City of the 1950s, its sights and sounds, leap off the pages of this book.
