In this fictional story two privileged families collide in the world of academia. The younger members of both families, new to the pitfalls of adulthood, can be forgiven their headstrong behaviour. Not so for their successful academic fathers. While much space is given in the book to two competing men with insufferable egos, it is the non-academic wives who bring the much needed dignity and gravitas to this tale.
