A gripping, provocative psychological thriller from one of Australia’s finest authors, exploring the snares of money and love, and the dark side of erotic imagination.
Two people. How many deceptions?
Liese Campbell has an engagement for the weekend: to stay with Alexander Colquhoun, the well-mannered heir of a pastoral dynasty, at his property in western Victoria. Liese, an English architect in flight from the financial crisis, now works at her uncle’s real-estate business in Melbourne. Alexander has been looking for a place in the city. The luxury apartments Liese shows him have become sets for a relationship that satisfies their fantasies – and helps pay her debts. It’s a game. Both players understand the rules. Or so she thinks.
Across the ancient landscape they drive at dusk to his grand decaying mansion. Here Liese senses a change in Alexander, and realises a different game has begun.
'Hooper's writing is beautifully clean, clear and candid ... The novel raises interesting questions about the psychology of desire and of memory.'
