…of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings. (Lewis Carrol)

David McRobbie introduces us to two young people on different sides of the planet – Brisbane and London – and with very little in common. As we hear bits of each story we gradually realise that these two, Teresa and Brian, are going to cross paths. The results are devastating for both in very different ways. As a reader I was really sucked into this story to see how things sorted themselves out over the years for these two characters. Recommended for mature readers.
