An unusual Australian novel about the need for a second Sydney Harbour Bridge. The underlying theme is how idealism and complete absorption in giving benefits to great masses of people can bring injustice and unhappiness to a small number of people - the immediate family circle of the idealist. The idealist, in this case, is a man with a drive to do good to the exclusion of all else - can this situation work out to a satisfactory conclusion? Cover art by Robert Parker.
