This book is a saga of love and fascination, hate and jealousy, ecstasy and tragedy. In the days shortly after the Second World War, love happened to a tall, good looking young man who dealt in gold bullion in the City of London. He thought he was having his mid-life crisis at the age of thirty, only to find that Cupid’s arrows come from any direction, any place at any time, and learnt the difference between love, and infatuation, and the fallacy of an old saying.
