it’s a novel. A family saga of love, dances, dislocation and death, spanning continents. From the British reign in India in the late 1800s had a devastating Cholera epidemic, to Switzerland in the early 1900s where a young woman falls in love with a prominent Swiss industrialist on the shores of an isolated beautiful lake. Followed by a glimpse of post-war life in the American suburbia of the 1950s with its volatile mix of conformism and social injustice, with endless cocktail parties and cars with tailfins, to the heady, revolutionary barrage of the 1960s counter-culture in California and the psychedelic sounds of that flamboyant era. 

Though the material is loosely based on an actual family history, it is a fictionalized memoir of how our attempt to shape the world into our own image, yet inexorably re-makes us in the process and how our efforts transcended generations.
