Author:Georgia Blain
The story is told through the eyes of Ursula, an out of work actress, who is drifting through life. She is haunted by her past and, in particular, the fateful summer spent with her eccentric family as a teenager at a wild and remote farmhouse, Candelo, on the south coast of Australia where she first falls in love. The holiday ends in disaster: a terrible accident takes place that changes all their lives. Ursula must confront the past and come to terms with truths about herself, and her family, before she can move on and truly exist in the the present.
'Blain's prose style is admirably clear and precise, her whole novel poignantly memorable: she is certainly a new writer to watch'
—— Adelaide Advertiser'Extremely satisfying...will stimulate thought and give pleasure long after it has been finished'
—— Sydney Morning HeraldEnthralling and unnervingly absorbing... Our top holiday recommendation so far this year.
—— HeatA talented and somewhat neglected author... wonderfully imaginative and slightly disturbed
—— Daily TelegraphIt certainly packs a wallop
—— John Dos PassosThese novels say more about the way we live now- and the things that brought us to our present pass - than any other work of fiction I can think of
—— L.E. Sissman , New YorkerWhat this novel does is so magnificent. One could say that this book has the power to unite us
—— TVA Television – Canada[Serdar Ozkan] is already being mentioned together with Paulo Coelho, Richard Bach, and even Saint-Exupery.
