Excellent condition

From the subtropical lushness of Queensland's Tamborine Rainforest to the claustrophobic bedroom of a Boston physicist, Janette Turner Hospital's characters breathe an atmosphere of passion and suspense.

Charade Ryan, an enigmatic story-spinning Scheherazade, searches for a way to unravel the long-held secrets of her family origins. As the narrative flits between the present and the past, and truth becomes increasingly subjective, Charade weaves a rich and textural tale out of the myths of her past.

This vibrant, superbly crafted novel explores the elusive boundaries between existence and imagination, memory and truth.
