About this listen
Across two continents, two sets of mothers and daughters are bound by a dark mystery.
On a winter’s day in the Dandenong Ranges, Australia, pianist Ginny returns home to her eccentric mother, Harriet. Ginny tries to apprise the truth of her father’s disappearance. In an effort to distract her daughter from interrogations, Harriet proposes they collaborate on an exhibition of paintings and songs.
Meanwhile, on the edge of Dartmoor, artist Judith paints landscapes of the Australian Outback to soothe her troubled heart, as her wayward daughter Madeleine returns and fills the house with darkness.

“A Perfect Square is a fine novel about the power of art to heal, and to disturb.” (David Whish Wilson, Zero at the Bone)
"Similar to Kandinsky’s brush that flawlessly moves from concrete to abstract, and from material to spiritual, the novel delicately blends family romance, art history, esoteric theories, and human drama as it traces the main protagonist’s search for her father that imperceptibly becomes the search for wisdom and transcendence." (Vladimir Golstein, professor of Russian literature, Brown University)
