Product Description

Synopsis

"What happens when you die?" Lewis asks. Marilyn hardly knows how to answer her son, or how to answer any of the questions suddenly triggered by her father's death. Her new friend Hilary is an unfailing support...but as the women grow closer, something completely unexpected shakes both families. Steeped in love, death, lust, childhood, parenthood, obsession - and the Wizard of Oz - this two-part novel follows Marilyn and Hilary through the most transforming six days of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars An elegant debut., 1 Dec 2007
A short read-in-one-sitting novel told in two parts, in two lyrical voices. A sparse yet precise piece of fiction that forces the reader to think about invisible words, about all that is left unsaid.

The story centres around the time just before and after Marilyn's father's death and is perhaps a study of the assumed within relationships. Marilyn is the first voice and her friend Hilary the second. The description is sparse, the characters exist as recognisable outlines, as the story pulls together into an original piece of writing. It is clever, in a simplistic and beautiful way. The reader is left feeling tense and often uncomfortable. There is an eeriness, a darkness that comes from the invisible words, from the unspoken.

Crafted, skilfully paced and visual through familiarity. This familiarity comes from the steering of the character relationships and the obvious skill of the writer. There are unanswered questions that the reader will never have responses to. This reflects the study of the restrictions of first person viewpoint and the reality of not knowing what happens within the relationships of others.

1.0 out of 5 stars bland, 2 Dec 2009
This story is unrealistic. It clearly gets clunky and bland after about three sentences. The rest of it is not worth commenting on. Not Good!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, 3 Nov 2008
A book that gives us a glimpse of the lives of two women: Marilyn and Hillary over the space of a few days. In the first half of the book we hear the voice of Marilyn and the second half we hear the voice of Hilary. Marilyn a counsellor loses her father and is in the process of grieving and re-evaluating her life and even though she guides many of her clients through their various problems, she feels a bit at a loss about her own existence with husband Doug and son Lewis. Her new friend Hilary has a son Aaron, who is the same age as Lewis and her other half is Adam who also appears to have a soft spot for Marilyn.

This was a very compelling read and these two women seem to be trying to find their place in the world and it really does make you think and wonder about the lives of others and how complex they may actually be. I really enjoyed reading it and wondering what did happen to Marilyn as the book has undertones that something macabre may have happened, or at least that's the way it made me feel, as I thought it had an eerie feel most of the way through.

I thought this was a great read that is asking me to read again shortly and I strongly recommend it.
