This novel in six novellas contemplates life, death, love, sex, gender, ageing, war and politics through a gallery of diverse characters deftly placed in a variety of historical settings. Francesca's lives and deaths will keep you reading till the end. Shortlisted for the Dorothy Hewett Award for an Unpublished Manuscript, 2023.
