The Seekers - Jean Carwardine

Three women, three stories, three voices, three moments in time. Marjorie, Jennifer, Denise and Madeleine share a house as graduate students, separate, and come together again. In the first part, the year is 1967 and the place is Baltimore. Marjorie falls into a series of ill-conceived romances and compromising situations while trying to keep her mismatched housemates together. In the second part, twenty years later, three of the women are brought together again by a strange inheritance. Jennifer mourns the death of a friend and struggles to reorient her life. In the last part the year is 2003, and Denise, now an accomplished artist, is preparing a retrospective. As she contemplates her paintings, the important moments in her life come back to her. And Madeleine, who never speaks to us directly, observes and judges the others while following her own spiritual calling.
