- Summary:
-
A woman grapples with survivor's guilt after a body is found in her garden bed; an ageing beauty queen contemplates her past; a world champion free-diver disappears during routine training. In moments disquieting or quietly inspiring, this collection considers the complexity of the connections we make-with our family, friends and neighbours, and with those met briefly or never at all. Emily Paull voices a chorus of characters that reveal and re-evaluate the expectations of women in Australia today-after all, well-behaved women rarely make history.
