Roundabout: A love story of old doubts and new courage

More about the book

Roundabout is a novel about a woman who has just lost the love of her life. Having met and fallen in love as students, they parted ways for decades, meeting only occasionally, always with the same magnetic attraction. They have come together just five years before his death, and her challenge now is to understand what drew them together, what pushed them apart, and whether he really loved her. The story starts in South Africa, in the seaside cottage outside Cape Town where they found their bliss, and moves back to their college days and through the decades each spent in the United States, with other partners and pursuing careers that finally overlapped. Fear of hurt came between them, but now Sally is bound forever to Felix by a book project that could capture their overlapping passion for dance, and her love of his two children.
