Abstract:
"Three Continents is a tale of the clash between the easternized West and westernized East. Twins Harriet and Michael - spoiled, quixotic, and extremely wealthy - have eschewed the vapid world of cocktail parties and adulteries that seems to be their inheritance, and, in their constant search to complete themselves, they become the perfect fodder for the Rawul of Dhoka and his Sixth World Movement. Surrendering themselves and their fortune, Micheal and Harriet join the group of devotees and follow it to India. As the Movement's true aims are uncovered, however, the twins are faced with a choice that threatens to tear them apart - or worse."--BOOK JACKET.
