Lovers for Today

Is fame truly the dazzling prize it appears to be? Randall is already ensnared in the clutches of celebrity, while Jane, on the cusp, craves her own literary place. But all Randall yearns for is to flee, hand in hand with his lover. Despite leaving it all behind, she sails for Africa alongside Randall. The fear of losing her partner is at the forefront, haunted by her past choices, yet tempered with a baby on the way. After reaching Cape Town, they rent a camper van and traverse the South African coastline towards the Skeleton Coast. As months slip by, the moment to depart their utopian haven approaches. The decision arises: to return to America or embrace life in the serene Surrey countryside of England. Parenthood seals their choice. Yet the question remains: can they truly elude the trappings of fame they once yearned to leave behind? Lovers for Today is the final installment in this much-loved series, the Brigandshaw Chronicles. Randall and Jane's story takes them from one country to another, where they continue to struggle in finding that elusive answer to happiness, and a true sense of home.
