In these poems and linked short stories, Marjorie Gadd combines place, character and history to paint the interwoven lives of her southern Tasmanian community.
A fractured family struggles to reunite. A hillside above Franklin sees generations come and go, shaping them more than they know. Grandparents, community elders, nurses, teachers pass away, but all leave their echoes in those who remain. Gadd writes with warmth and humour, exploring the quiet pockets of everyday life and the beauty of nature as well as complex human relationships and the deep experiences that galvanise the human spirit.
