Synopsis

The dazzling new novel from the author of DROWNING RUTH - a huge international bestseller. As the novel opens Jon is receiving intimate e-mail messages from his girlfriend, Freddi, while his wife, Ginny, works outside in the garden. If Jon and Ginny had been able to have the children they wanted, perhaps Freddi wouldn't have had the impact she did. It was Ginny who gave Jon a chance of happiness after his tough upbringing with his bitter mother Marie and drunk father Bud. Surely Jon and Ginny could still be happier than Marie and Bud ever managed to be? Back in the 1960s, Marie and Bud were in love and their future was bright. Jealousy, betrayal and revenge got in the way, though, and drove the perfect couple into a nightmare marriage. Can the cruel mistakes of the past finally be left behind, or are their consequences to reverberate for ever into future generations?

Media Reviews
'Schwarz shows the fragility, complexity and danger inherent in love' * Kirkus Reviews *
'Schwarz is interested in... the kind of emotional causality that produces jealousy and revenge. She observes these things with a combination of delicacy and ruthlessness, exploring the machinery of incident, accident and coincidence' * Sydney Morning Herald *
'Schwarz hinges her tale around a series of accidents - some happy, others with devastating consequences. But what matters more than the events themselves is how they reverberate and bear fatal pressures on the fracture points in a relationship' * Notebook, Australia *
