It is 1941 and the storm clouds of war gather over Australia. In
the mountains outside Sydney the Massey family are reunited by
their father's death. Gilbert is a successful novelist, struggling
with writer's block in middle age. A socialist and intellectual, he
shares his political understanding - and fears - with his sister
Marty and Marxist brother Nick. But he is locked in an unhappy
marriage with a woman of little imagination and obsessive
respectability, and their daughters, Prue and Virginia, are as
incompatible as their parents.With the bombing of Pearl Harbor, war
becomes a reality. As Gilbert and his family are overtaken by the
forces of history they must come to terms with their personal and
public failures, and watch as the new generation inevitably mirrors
the contradictions and turmoil of the old.
