'We must be ruthless,' Edward snarls, 'because we lead ruthless lives. This is our existence. This house, this land, that father, that mother - there's no pity, there's no mercy, there's probably no escape.' The Willow family's world is a place of strange safety and dark unease. But such a place cannot last forever. Winner of both the Victorian Premier's Literary Award Sheaffer Pen Prize and the Miles Franklin Inaugural Kathleen Mitchell Award.
