A landmark of Australian literary fiction, The Watch Tower is a searing psychological drama set in 1940s Sydney. The novel chronicles the lives of two sisters, Laura and Clare, who are left in the care of a man named Felix Shaw after their mother abandons them — a decision that gradually ensnares them in a web of manipulation, control, and quiet terror. Harrower writes with unflinching precision, exposing the insidious dynamics of domestic tyranny and the devastating cost of dependence. Originally published in 1966 and long out of print before its celebrated reissue, The Watch Tower is now recognised as one of the most powerful and unsettling works in the Australian literary canon.
