Synopsis

Ghosts trail after us. They are our fears and the shape of our hates. We bring them into our lives and into our homes. Some years our fears and hates are so strong our ghosts turn tangible and fracture our landscape. Poltergeists and the spirits of drowned girls; malicious presences and portents; cat vampires and roaming bushrangers. These ghosts haunt Canberra. Four women - three venerable, and one tender in years - decide that someone has to deal with the problems. One dinner party at a time, one cup of tea at a time, one excursion at a time, Lil, Mabel, Ann and Kat send the beings back to places they should never have left. This is the women's superhero year. But each of them has secrets, and three of them face problems only aging can bring. They never expected werewolves.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Gillian Polack writes fiction that others have trouble defining. Her novels range from kinda-sorta urban fantasy in The Wizardry of Jewish Women (a Ditmar finalist) to kinda-sorta time travel but probably alternate history in Langue[dot]doc 1305. She is a historian (mainly a Medievalist) and narrative specialist, which means she has written much non-fiction, the larger part of which has appeared as articles. Alas for the world, she is addicted to chocolate, sarcasm and bad jokes. Fortunately, she lives in Canberra, Australia (where she teaches, edits, writes, and cooks), which is too far from most of the world for these things to matter.
