Description
Athena and Dexter Fox are happy, in love, and living with their young sons in a sparsely furnished house near the Merri Creek. Its walls crack, its floors slope, its doors hang loosely in their frames, and there is a piano in the kitchen. Years after their lives have taken different directions, Dexter runs into Elizabeth, an old friend from his university days. She brings into his world her free-living musician boyfriend, Philip, and her seventeen-year-old sister, Vicki. Suddenly, the bonds holding the Fox family together begin to fray. Set against the tumultuous Melbourne of the 1970s and 1980s, Helen Garner’s subtly musical novel weighs the burdens of commitment against the costs of liberation.
