A suburban Australian mother is forced to re-evaluate her life when her husband unceremoniously announces that he's leaving her for a younger woman.
When her husband of three decades announces he has a younger lover and wants a divorce, Ella Ferguson realises how protected her life has been, she has 'seen no evil, heard no evil and spoken no evil'. Alone and enraged, she must come to terms with her failed marriage and her relationships with her adult children. A Change In The Lighting, Amy Witting's third novel, is the compelling story of a woman cast adrift.
