The usual manner, however, in which a person becomes a seer is by being summoned through sickness, dreams, or temporary insanity... in either case there is a temporary loss of soul.I met a girl yesterday who had been traveling for twelve years with no particular destination in mind. Spending only a few days in each place, moving on, always on her way to somewhere else. The problem, she told me, was that now she was starting to think that she might like to stop. Somewhere, but where? She was from Sydney, she was thirty, and she was a thin ghost haunting the streets of Brighton looking for a place to stay for the night. She didn't know where she was going. We walked down the narrow lanes together for fifteen minutes and traded notes on cheap hostels and chaotic lives. I think she won. I wondered what had happened to make her run like that. Lily, a young woman coming of age and grappling with a serious dissociative disorder, is a woman with many goals; to remember her friend's names and faces, which house she lives in, to decide what country she will be living in. But above all, she is on a quest to remember her past and with it, to remember and locate the missing pieces of herself. Told with humour and self-depreciating honesty, this is an unusually metaphysical coming of age novel.
