Published in 1962, this novel captures the suave, sophisticated atmosphere of the early sixties, taking readers aboard a high-stakes voyage where reputations and hearts are equally at risk.\n\nThe story follows **Rodney Graham**, a man whose charm and easy manner earn him the nickname \"Dreamboat,\" as he navigates the social hierarchies of a luxury cruise. However, beneath the polished exterior of cocktails and moonlit decks lies a web of personal ambitions and hidden pasts. As Rodney becomes entangled with a cast of passengers each seeking their own version of escape, he must decide whether to continue drifting through life or to finally drop anchor for something real. Taylor’s narrative is a stylish exploration of identity and the search for genuine connection in a world often preoccupied with appearances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792212078811,"sku":"2026200004599-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/358cdff2-364b-42d4-bb53-1466cab9a53e.png?v=1779273557","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004599-secondhand-dreamboat","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
