Publisher Description
One hot summer, a group of university students gathers in an orchard to rehearse a play. Veronika is born for a life on the stage while Felix seizes his last chance for creative freedom. Sebastian woos Veronika, and Cassie longs for Sebastian. Josh and Gloria each carry a secret they are unable to share. Passion, rivalry and enduring connections will bind the Players across years and continents, long after the final curtain falls and they leave university behind. From Perth to Paris, Cambridge, London, Berlin and Dili the friends search for meaning in their careers and friendship, discover love and endure heartbreak.

A multi-year sweep thru deep friendships
I loved this. A group mid-matched of performers, creatives and producers come together for a uni dramatic club play and form the basis of good and problematic friendships and relationships that span the next couple of decades of their lives. The set up of the players coming together in act one is the springboard that carries a large ensemble across Australia and both Hemispheres with wit and frequent sadness but ultimately joy. The many threads of the story are woven skillfully. Sad to come to the end of their stories. Pike pulls this all together beautifully.
