1It's summer 1968, and the world is reeling from war and assassinations, protests and riots. In a sunny British seaside town, a producer, a novelist, and an actress are enduring their own more private crises on the set of a disaster-plagued movie. All are leading secret lives--one is in the closet; another is an alcoholic; and the third is sleeping with her costar--and as the shoot zigs and zags, these layers of secrets become increasingly more untenable. Pressures build inexorably--and that's before the FBI and CIA get involved. Someone is going to crack--or maybe they all will. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Trio is an enthralling novel that asks the vital questions: What makes life worth living? And what do you do if you find it isn't?
