'Bathing in Light' opens with a wake and closes with a suicide. It is the story of a barrister, Thomas. A great bear of a man who has the demeanour of a broken creature. It is the story of his younger sister, Skye: writer of dubious celebrity profiles, fast woman, devoted daughter and sister, and lover of the sea. It is a story which invites the reader to probe the motives behind a sibling's suicide - and in so doing throw up a whole new question. How does one survive when the other cannot?
Set in Sydney and London and on some wild, magical stretches of coast, 'Bathing in Light' is a novel filled with dark secrets and quiet, dazzling hope.
