'From the rail I looked down at Sashie's upturned face and the
brilliant, early tropical sunlight made me think of the lights upon
the stage of a theatre long ago . . .' With these thoughts Janet
Sandison says goodbye to the West Indian island that has been her
home for many years, for her husband Twice has died, the great
house where old Madame Dulac held court for so long is to be sold,
changes are coming to the island, and Janet herself is setting out
on a new and adventurous life. That she is doing so is due in no
small measure to her friend Sashie, the ex-RAF pilot who walks on
'tin legs' and whose tender, sensitive friendship has drawn Janet
from the dark limbo of desolation into which her husband's death
had plunged her. The flamboyant Sashie is a brilliant and subtle
character, as readers of Jane Duncan's previous 'Friends' books
know; and in this story of Janet's move to a new life he is
revealed with all the perception and clear-sightedness that make
Jane Duncan so compelling a story-teller.
