How do you decide to live? Or do others make that decision for you? In this lyrical novel, Beryl Fletcher explores the paradoxes of modern life. As a new academic, Julia finds her beliefs challenged by her students, reinforced by her friend’s mistreatment and dismissed by her family. Just as her mother sought freedom from her family’s rural poverty, Julia and her sister Isobel, search for their own solace finding it in different and disparate places.
"Lots of melodrama, sexy scenes, drunken quarrels, deaths, and so on--and it has got all the hooks that make for a good read and make you desperate to know how it's going to end." --Aorewa McLeod, "NZ Listener"
