~~Penny Vincenzi, Sheer Abandon~~
At first glance looks too thick a book to plough through!But trust me its worth the effort.
~The Characters~
The story is set around three glamorous women, friends who met at the beginning of their travels as students in 1985;

As a grown man, Hira discovers he is an orphan and goes on a bender and becomes very arrogant and detached from any emotion, almost shrewd as if nothing matters. Being an orphan, an abandoned child is something that he doesn't get over. That is until he meets a man in a nightclub who offers him a managers position unaware that they share the same father.
