Two novellas from one of Australia's most acclaimed and awarded writers which sweep the reader on sentimental journeys toward an ending rather than a beginning.
Julie Truscott, a seemingly ordinary housewife, and Macintosh Hope, a disenchanted academic each flee from lives they cannot control. The balance of their flight is destroyed by Clifford Truscott - Julie's real estate husband and the rapacious developer of Mac's neighbouring island.
