Description

Set in Brisbane during the stultifying 1950s, this account of the betrayal of love throws us into the disordered world of Sookie, a young artist.As she transits warily to the London of the "swinging" 70s, she comes up against those who would try to steal her very identity.Vastly intelligent, mordantly funny, this dark comedy of the fictions of the heart is an edgy and dangerous work of portraiture.

Reviews

"Brilliant, a fantastic achievement, full of the most terrific portraits." --Rodney Hall, author, "The Island in the Mind"
"Wrapped up in finely ironic and analytically acute prose. . . the way it is organized is very much what the Balzacs and Updikes of this world use to make their own structures." --Peter Porter, author, "Max is Missing"
