As a child who grew up playing on and in the Brisbane river I was drawn into the artist’s world. I was with her every step of the journey. I soaked up the atmosphere and wandered along the banks of my memory. Unlike the artist , I was not forced to the desperate choices she had to make to survive . I think I was always aware of the darkness behind the beauty. This novel will probably be the best I read this year. It offers mystery, emotion, desperation and hope that kept me glued to it until the last moment. The addition of the sketches really added another dimension to the novel. It’s a cracker !!!
