The life is that of Philip Bowman and we see his formative experiences as a young naval officer in battles off Okinawa, his career as a book editor in New York after the Second World War, his trips to the great European cities from publishing parties in London, to romantic holidays in Paris. But despite his success, what eludes him is love.

His first marriage sours, another fails to happen. Finally, he meets a woman who enthralls him, before setting him on a course he could never imagine for himself. James Salters dazzling, seductive and haunting novel offers a fiercely intimate account of the great shocks and grand pleasures of being alive.
