About
"Lucas Cage can now lay claim to the only part of his father's enormous legacy that he ever craved - the disused old printing house hard by the Thames in London which he calls the Works. Lucas is determined that the inherent honesty of the silent building will never be betrayed. Special people - the people who need to be there - will be invited to share it with him: 'the family', as Lucas comes to call them." "Jamie Dear is one of those who grasps the opportunity to escape a small and nasty little flat he can ill afford and a wife who scorns his eagerness to be close to Lucas. Jamie emerges as a catalyst linking the lives of all the other disparate souls, while the calm and omniscient spirit of Lucas hovers above the interaction of relationships, sexual tensions and ambiguities."--BOOK JACKET.
