Description
Evie Walsh sits obsessively at her garden pond examining her life and her loves.
What is the significance of the places she returns to in her memories... of the one man who recurs, carrying as he does the dark secret he wants to share only with her?
Her loves will take the reader back in time, deep into the heart of Sydney suburbia, the tempting bohemia of Kings Cross, the alluring mystery of the Blue Mountains and to far away Normandy, France, as her marriage collapses.
But always back to the present, the garden pond and seemingly disparate reflections. It is here at last clearer memories of the enigmatic Rob Connor can finally release her from her vigil.
