In Sholly Knot the author creates a contemporary yet out of chronology saga of her own; echoing glimpses of kitchen sink drama, immature fantasies merging with attention-seeking female's obsessions and human weakness, are presented in her story in a series of ponderings about her own actions and choices. The main character here speaks to herself and thinks aloud and the reader witnesses her torments, desires, mental aberrations and amidst fragments and flashbacks of a twisted life permeated by fears, sense of guilt for feeling of inadequacy and illusions we are drawn into a seemingly banal dimension but never obvious and yet deeply and gradually more and more unsettling. Her tales of ordinary madness, human depravation and her wanderings between small Australian towns and bigger cities are wrapped and underpinned in mystery and her visceral journey into hidden truths holds a finale that pays off the reader with a totally unpredictable twist!
Maxine Layton is a proud Australian Indigenous author, mother of six, and grandmother of three. Born and raised in the stunning landscape of Western Australia, Maxine's passion for storytelling has always been a huge part of her life. She is excited to share her first fictional book, which is the beginning of an engaging trilogy.
Her debut novel Sholly Knot, written in the serene town of Esperance, where the beauty of the landscape inspires her writing. Through her characters and plots, Maxine aims to weave narratives that will captivate readers from all walks of life. Maxine Layton invites you to embark on this literary journey with her.
