It is about a conversation in a car....

A man in a safe government job has three beautiful daughters and goes to visit his country cousin. But what will he be like when they meet him? Really, they don't know. They're not even sure what he looks like for when they get to the airport at the other end. Still, in this lovely well-crafted story, they fall softly it seems. This is because of the girls' beauty. It seems that at the airport the driver of a car mistakes them for somebody else's relatives. He invites them to a country mansion that might just be a bit bigger than his cousin's farmhouse and cider making business. Will they meet their cousin in the end and explain the mistake to him and others? This is a good read about a genuinely imaginative situation not often seen in fiction. Except that is, there are many beautiful heroines in novels. But does beauty have its flaws? This is a story about beauty, money and ugliness.

The novella is about a young man, originally inspired by the sixties, especially 'Woodstock', who ends up living a punk nightmare in a seedy house in Auckland, New Zealand. He never comes of age, otherwise this would be a coming of age book. Incidents in this book are true and have never been described in fiction before.
