About this listen
Sometimes you must shine a light on the dark places to see what was always there.
‘Nancy won't be coming home.'
And there it is: that pip of a moment. That instant. That fraction of a second. That weightless stillness at the very top of a ball's bounce, between its going up and falling down.
My brother and I held hands, suspended somewhere in between the life we'd led as Nancy's children, and the one we were destined to live thereafter.
Winter Robins is a happy enough child, growing up in the north of England, with parents who love her and the constant companion of a twin brother, but a cold wind blows through when her mother dies. Her father turns to the bottle, her grandmother struggles to cope, and she and her brother are sent to live in Western Australia with family their mother had never mentioned.
Although Winter quickly settles in Australia and comes to love her life and the people in it, she notices strange happenings in the shadows of her new home. When a news story prompts her to look back as her past, she begins to wonder whether things were as idyllic as she had thought at the time.
As she uncovers secret after secret, she realises a much darker narrative may have been–and perhaps still is–playing out ...

One the my top books of the year
If you liked Boy Swallows Universe or Bridge of Clay you’d probably relish this. The writing is exquisite and the narration could not be more perfect. Raw, unsettling, emotional, brutal and brittle. One of those books that knocks the stuffing out of you - so you’ll need time at the end to gather up your thoughts before attempting the next book.
Brilliant.

A Definite Must Read!
I devoured this book in a weekend. It’s written so well and weaves an amazing tale that isn’t far fetched. Louise Wolhuter is a naturally gifted writer and her descriptions are crafted so well. I’m in awe at her writing ability. It’s a shame she’s not more well known as she deserves to be on best seller lists. The narrator does an amazing job too. 5 stars all around.
