Description
Stephen Newman's life has been one of comfort and success, built over decades with friends who have become like family. But as he looks back, he begins to see that his adult years were spent in a state of quiet desperation, living in a world that wasn't quite his own. Born to immigrant parents in sunny Los Angeles, Stephen moved north to London, where he married for convenience and raised children who grew into people he couldn't understand. As the years passed, he and his friends built lives of comfort, but beneath the surface, a sense of disconnection and disillusionment had been growing. Now, as the events of late middle age force him to confront the reality of his life, Stephen is forced to realise that he has always lived in a fool's paradise.
