So, what happens next?

I did enjoy this book even though some of the choices of the characters are not necessarly ones people will agree with. I found myself being sympethetic with Erika. As a professional business woman who suffered with infertility for 5 years and did finally have 2 daughters of my own. I felt her torn feelings between motherhood and her hearts desire. Life is not clear cut like most people want it to be and this story explores the many difficult decisions people have to make and their effects.

Erika von Kessler is married to Peter. They visit Ravell, a fertility doctor. Ravell discovers that Peter is sterile. Ravell betrays his oath and uses his sperm. Erika miscarries. Then she resumes her singing career. When she and Peter visit Ravell in the Caribbean, they make love. She gets pregnant, has a son, leaves the son to pursue her career in Italy and finally returns to Ravell who follows her to Italy. Sounds preposterous, but developed quite well.
