About the book
hey were two of a kind Onstage at Dominic Lord's hotel at Lake Malawi, Frith Adeane sang and entertained holidaymakers with a smoldering display of sensuality. But it was all an act. "We're two of a kind," Dominic told her after her performance one night. "We're both hedonists, pursuing pleasure, not allowing emotion to shadow enjoyment. To Dominic, their affair was inevitable. To Frith, such a liaison seemed impossible. They were alike all right--one having chosen to live life on the surface, the other feeling she had no other choice--neither of them having ever really been touched by love.
