What happens when an obsession takes over and there is no one to hold you back?Longlisted for the Miles Franklin Award. Thea Farmer, a reclusive and difficult retired school principal, lives in isolation with her dog in the Blue Mountains.Her distinguished career ended under a cloud over a decade earlier, following a scandal involving a much younger male teacher.After losing her savings in the financial crash, she is forced to sell the dream house she had built for her old age and live on in her dilapidated cottage opposite. Initially resentful and hostile towards Frank and Ellice, the young couple who buy the new house, Thea develops a flirtatious friendship with Frank, and then a grudging affinity with his twelve-year-old niece, Kim, who lives with them.Although she has never much liked children, Thea discovers a gradual and wholly unexpected bond with the half-Vietnamese Kim, a solitary, bookish child from a troubled background. Her growing sympathy with Kim propels Thea into a psychological minefield. Finding Frank's behaviour increasingly irresponsible, she becomes convinced that all is not well in the house.Unsettling suspicions, which may or may not be irrational, begin to dominate her life, and build towards a catastrophic climax.; EPUB; Fiction > Modern & contemporary fiction, Pickering & Chatto Publishers<
