A classic love story set in a world in turmoil, from one of Australia's greatest storytellers. Adele Ambar dreams of being a famous actress. Young, beautiful and ambitious, her life is focused on getting ahead. Jack is a television reporter, a man with an eye for the good things in life and a self-confessed romantic 'on a day-to-day basis'. their affair progresses quickly, but just why Adele is reluctant to let things get too serious puzzles Jack. As their story unfolds across newsrooms and footlights, from the drought-ravaged farmland of New South Wales to terrorism in New York, Jack comes to understand that loving Miss Ambar and keeping her are two very different things ...
