'Here she was, a woman married to an ex-priest, and there he was, a man who'd traded in his collar for an agnostic with a wise-cracking disrespect for anything Catholic or biblical, and indeed, black tailoring in general. It wasn't how she thought her life would turn out, at all.'
Freshly removed from the clutches of the Catholic clergy, Douglas and Kirsten Fairbanks leave Glasgow looking for a fresh start. What they find on arrival in Melbourne's western suburbs in 1969, is an eclectic and eccentric group of fellow immigrants who all volunteer to join in Douglas's scheme to set up a brand new soccer club, a project that proves to have ramifications beyond anything they could have imagined.
'Sweet Time' is a funny, poignant novel about the need to belong, and about two people struggling to create a new identity for themselves without letting the sweet times pass them by.
