The Temple of My Familiar

Plot

Spanning continents as well as centuries, the story moves from the Americas, Europe and Africa to nameless primal worlds. At the center of the story are two marriages in crisis and a third that has long since broken down. A history professor and a teacher of women's studies turned masseuse try to draw closer while remaining free. A rock star and his Latin American refugee wife are parted by an unlikely "other woman." And a gentle artist and a silverhaired goddess - have been companions for so many years they are virtually interchangeable. As they talk about themselves and reconnect with missing pieces of the past, they uncover disquieting truths. --Book jacket.
