It is Christmas on the Santa Clara cruise liner, and as the old ship sets sail from Barcelona, dramas big and small are unfolding within her graceful confines. There's Kitty Golden, ex-model and wife of New York financier Saul Abelson, some 25 years her senior. While Saul feels lost in love for his young wife, Kitty has her sights set elsewhere. Dubliner Mary Dunne is on board with no less than eight members of her boisterous Irish family. They're all there to enjoy themselves, but for Mary, the stakes are higher as she has her own private mission to attend to. 'Retired' evangelicals Susie and Jay Tanner cause mumblings to stir with their unorthodox behaviour, but finding out what's behind it proves elusive to some observers. Cool-headed novelist Roxy Smith observes it all. Intent on finding the plot for her second novel, she imagines there's no better place for inspiration than upon a cruise liner.
