Western Australian author
“Byrski's forte is getting inside women's heads and hearts.”
The Australian Women's Weekly
"An absorbing read with fascinating observations on the physical and emotional impact of a sudden act of violence."
The Northern Star
From the acclaimed author of Remember Me.
When Heather Delaney is injured in a shocking act of violence, her life is thrown off course. Struggling to return to work, she is haunted by the incident. Was it random or personal? Will they try again? And Heather is not the only one who is rocked by the attack. Her brother, Adam, and his second wife, Jill, already juggling the demands of work and pre-teen children find their marriage is straining at the seams. Adam disappears into his music while Jill attempts to keep all the balls in the air. Shaun, Heather's offsider, young, loyal and ambitious, questions his relationship; Diane, an office volunteer, can't stop the bitterness pouring out after a mid-life divorce; and Heather's aunt, Barbara, is about to have her peaceful rural retirement disrupted by conflicting loyalties. Then along comes Heather's old flame, Ellis. Romantic, flamboyant, determined to recapture the past and take control of the future, he seems to have all the answers. But can it really be that easy?
"Byrski is a lively and imaginative storyteller with a good sense of structure and this is a highly readable account of contemporary Australian life."
The Sydney Morning Herald
