Steeped in the landscape and colours of its locations, Sibyl's Cave follows the orphaned Billie through her childhood in Italy to the United Kingdom during World War II with her adopted family, to art school and then, finally, to her new life as an adult in Australia.  Interrupting the reclusive island life that Billie shares with Troy her housekeeper and Stan her housemate on the Hawkesbury River, Billie's niece Lorelei and her daughter Elissa arrive unannounced from England. As their lives intertwine stories emerge and secrets are revealed.  With an evocative eye for personality and place, Sibyl's Cave alternates between Billie's past, unearthed in her diaries and memories, and her present-day life on the island. It is a rich story about family and the importance of identity.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43717765398747,"sku":"9781865089522-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781865089522_a3c75d16-11df-465d-be0d-bf3a4038abd4.jpg?v=1669283752","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781865089522-secondhand-sibyls-cave","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
