'Their eyes met and Clarinda felt a seismic shift of understanding, one she could not name; she held Dotty’s gaze with the silent request: Please, don’t make any further fuss or they might call an ambulance, or the police, and that would be one humiliation far too far. For them both.
'But the wild, fiery anger in Dotty’s eyes seemed to have extinguished itself of its own accord; she only frowned again and asked: "Don’t I know you?"
From the judging panel:
Why this book is different
Two young women, brought up to expect conventional
lives, are thrown together in unexpected circumstances.
Each has suffered a devastating loss that challenges their
belief in life and themselves. It’s rare to come across a work
of deep psychological insight conveyed with such verve and
lightness of touch.
Why we liked it
Kelly sweeps the reader into the lives and
passions of her two central characters
and into the bustling city streets of
Sydney in the 1920s. A powerfully
moving book that sparkles
with vitality.”
