"Shearwater is a gently twisted tale with a creepy undercurrent. A satisfying read."
The Sydney Sun Herald
A delicious story of self-discovery that will make you laugh and cry.
Cassie Callinan is a dutiful corporate wife, carefully preserving the safety of the status quo and her husband's camellias. When she learns she has lost her husband to a younger woman, she panics. Who is she, without the familiar props of her marriage? Fleeing her own life, Cassie finds herself amongst the eccentric inhabitants of Shearwater, an isolated coastal village. Against her will, she is gradually drawn into the life of the town with all its dramas, joy and secrets, and begins to discover who she really is.
"Quirky, small-town characters abound...but rather than presenting us with more paper-cut-out crazies, Mayes has drawn some well-rounded characters with sufficient mystery to keep readers interested. There is a lot of heart in this novel. Andrea Mayes writes with an assured voice. Her prose is taut, well-paced and, at times, quite poetic. This is a novel for women of all ages."
