FICTION

Her son's actions shatter Marian's life. As the days pass she is haunted by layers of grief rising like the salt of the degraded earth. This novel has its roots in an ancient landscape - the dry farming country around Koikyennuruff (Stirling Ranges) in the south of Western Australia. It is the story of a journey from the country to the city and back again, a journey that will change Marian forever.
