The White Road

This novel is about the adventures and love affairs of four close friends during  the ‘fifties, as the setting moves from East Hampton to New York to Paris. A young man whose father was in the Merchant Marine in WW II falls in love with the beautiful daughter of wealthy parents in East Hampton. Amelia says of herself, “Everything I touch turns to gin and tonic.” Her friend Lucinda goes off to a kibbutz in Israel. And Billy Roamer, the clammer,  winds up as the roommate of Brandon Wyler, who is a young Oscar Wilde. Their lives are intertwined  against a background of history: the Cold War, McCarthyism, the Rosenberg executions, and the Algerian war.
