Burke, a celebrated Australian art historian and novelist, brings her characteristic sensitivity to bear on questions of identity, memory, and perception. The narrative unfolds with a quiet intensity, drawing readers into a world where seeing — and understanding — are never quite the same thing. Winner of the Victorian Premier's Literary Award, this novel stands as a testament to Burke's ability to illuminate the human condition through precise, evocative prose.
