The novel follows the lives of five people: a brother and sister from the British aristocracy, James and Philippa Marchant, a young man, Daniel Gibson, and young woman, Emily Wilkinson, from less elevated backgrounds, and Kelly Aresti, who is the doppelganger of the female upper class woman in a parallel universe. The novel follows the characters from their school days in the 1950s to growing up and entering the workforce.
The men mainly go into military service in the Royal Marines, while the women have more varied paths. One woman becomes a lawyer while the other is studying to be a doctor. Philippa’s doppelganger Kelly is a practicing physician who is the first to pursue the evil presence that manifests itself.
“Baby boomers will certainly identify with the time frame as will others,” Grenfell explains. “There is much for all including much actual history of the time used as a backdrop to the story.”
