This book is set ten years later than the previous one. Again it's written from varying perspectives, which works well to develop the various plot-lines.
The book mainly revolves around Cornelius. He is now head of van Zyle banking. The book explores, among other things, his various relationships.
The story is fast-moving and gripping, despite being set in the potentially dull (to me, anyway) world of high finance. There's rather a bleak ending, although probably the right one. And there is at least some hope of a happy future for Cornelius' daughter Vicky.
Best read after 'The Rich are Different'.
