A delightful debut novel of secrets and small town obsessions.
Goodwood is a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone. It's a place where it's impossible to keep a secret.
In 1992, when Jean Brown is 17, a terrible thing happens. Two terrible things. Rosie White, the coolest girl in town, vanishes overnight. One week later, Goodwood's most popular resident, Bart McDonald, sets off on a fishing trip and never comes home.
People die in Goodwood, of course, but never like this. They don't just disappear.
As the intensity of speculation about the fates of Rosie and Bart heightens, Jean, who is keeping secrets of her own, and the rest of Goodwood are left reeling.
Rich in character and complexity, its humour both droll and tender, Goodwood is a compelling ride into a small community, torn apart by dark rumours and mystery.
'... a complete revelation, the conjuring up of a sad, beautiful, indelible little world of its own.'
SMH
'Throsby proves herself as a deft hand at literary prose as the world she builds around her teenage narrator in this book is so vivid it can occasionally feel more like fact than fiction.'
