The warm, heroic story of a grandmother's determination to save her family from themselves. Marnie is sixty-three and downwardly mobile. Her middle-class marriage is long gone, her only child more or less estranged. She's living in a granny flat behind a stranger's house. Still, things could be worse. She likes her new boss, Trinh, and her flat has a leadlight window depicting a galleon in full sail. Also, her daughter Lenny has just brought Marnie's adored grandchildren to stay. She's also brought her repellent boyfriend and raging drug habit, so nothing new there. But this time it's different. This time Marnie can see with absolute clarity the danger the children are in. And this time-she's going to do something about it. This is the revelatory story of an ordinary woman who will let nothing, not even the law, stand in the way of her grandchildren's safety. Simply, elegantly told and utterly compelling, Edenhope is an adventure for those who believe adventure can come from anywhere. And it is a love story for those who understand that love can be found everywhere. PRAISE- 'Edenhope's tenderness, harrowing truth and everyday beauty makes it one of the must-read fiction books of the year.' Australian Arts Review '5 stars. A quietly unfolding novel with contemporarily impacting themes of Australian society woven through the narrative...Thought provoking and deeply emotional.' Theresa Smith Writes
