Based on a true story, Reg Egan in his first novel has recreated the town and its people, the atmosphere and the love affair that intrigrued and shocked the whole of Australia. When Ethel Griggs dies suddenly in the Victorian country town of Omeo in January 1928, rumours about her husband's blatant affair with Lottie, the lovely 20-year-old daughter of local grazier and Methodist elder, Jack Condon, are rife. So rife that despite a doctor's certificate suggesting natural causes, police order Ethel Grigg's body to be exhumed and the young mother of 11-month-old baby. Alwyn is found to have died from arsenic poisoning. Her husband, the Rev. Ron Griggs, the districts Methodist minister, is charged with her cruel and heartless murder.
