I picked this book up after seeing it listed as one of the great books set in Victoria on The Summer Read list from the State Library this year. It is a novel about love and family and provides an insight into the lives of two women, Beth and Janet, and their extended families. Janet is a working wife and mother, torn between the demands of her work as a weather presenter and her anxious, unpredictable son, Harry. After 50 years of marriage, Beth is coping with warning signs of dementia in her husband, a famous sculptor facing the end of his career. This novel concentrates on the details of domestic life and relationships within the broader setting of the Australian climate.

What an absolutely wonderful book. It had me hooked right from the first page, a very true account of people getting older and becoming invisible, and the worries of a working mother trying to be everything for everybody. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it did make me cry, which is the true value to me of a wonderful book. I hope you write more Kate Legge.
