A Perfect Square

Across two continents, two sets of mothers and daughters are bound by a dark mystery.

On a winter's day in the Dandenongs, Victoria, pianist Ginny returns home to stay with her eccentric mother and artist Harriet. Consumed by disturbing dreams, speculations and remembering, she tries to prise from her mother the truth concerning her father's disappearance and why, when she was seven, Harriet abducted her. In an effort to distract her daughter's interrogations, Harriet proposes they collaborate on an exhibition of paintings and songs.

Meanwhile, on the edge of Dartmoor, Judith paints landscapes of the Australian Outback to soothe her troubled mind. Her wayward daughter Madeleine has returned home and she has filled the house with darkness. Her father doesn't want to know her. Judith wishes he did. When at last she forces the two to meet she breathes a sigh of relief.

Back in Australia, Ginny is poised to fly to England in search of the truth when she receives some earth-shattering news.

A novel brimming with mystery and suspense, creativity, art and the occult.
