A story about stories – those we tell, those we believe and those we make into a reality – whether they are true, murky or not true at all.
Port Kingerton: the insular cray-fishing town at the butt-end of South Australia, where everyone knows everyone. And everyone knows too that when Abigail Fancy left town at 17, she hung out the window of her boyfriend's Corolla, middle fingers held high, swearing she'd never come back. And she hasn't, until now.
At her parents' house, Abigail finds a party (read town meeting) in full swing over something iffy found on the beach – a thighbone. And although iffy things aren't uncommon in Port Kingerton, Abigail's surprise arrival forces a family – and an entire town – to unpack a 24-year-old secret that rocked this tiny place to its core: that time they found something much iffier ...
Through Abigail, her grandfather Old Dick Fancy's unreliable memories and the collective voices of the town itself, Port Kingerton unravels as old wounds are picked open, skeletons fall from closets and unlikely bonds are forged. But will Abigail finally change the past ...?
'The Fancies is a wonder. A brilliantly observed, laugh-out-loud funny, page-turner with a tender heart and a spine of the finest feminist steel.'
Emily Maguire, author of An Isolated Incident
'Tender, funny and quietly profound.' (on The Other Side of Beautiful)
The Sunday Times
'Indulging in raw, female emotion.' (on Peace, Love and Khaki Socks)
Heather Taylor Johnson, author of Pursuing Love and Death
'A great read filled with twists and surprises – highly recommended.' (on The Good Mother)
