Description:  

After an idyllic childhood and magical holidays on her grandparents’ chicken farm, the conundrum is why Kate – now married to Joe, a human rights’ lawyer – is so cynical, closed and unforgiving.

Her unrelenting attitude, combined with Joe’s loss of faith in his ability to promote change, precipitates a painful confrontation.  The necessary expiation reveals a child’s loss, a child’s feelings of impotence and a child’s anguish at her failure to pre-empt harm.

Kate’s liberation is evocative, elegant and compelling.
