Between water and the night sky /
Simone Lazaroo.
- 248 pages ; 21 cm.
Elspeth is full of inexpressible longings: to leave behind life in Perth and her beginnings in a small wheatbelt town, and a secret she scarcely comprehends. Francis wants to fit in - to make a life for himself after migrating from Singapore that is not determined by the colour of his skin or the judgement of others. Told by their only child, Eva, this is a novel about falling in love, and falling apart - the beautiful, sad story of a shared history that never ends.
