by Gabrielle Gouch (Author)
Inspired by the life of a real person, this is a story of brilliance and insanity and how one man's fate impacts on three generations. A tale of love and loss set against the background of politics and the machinations of bureaucracy.
Clara, a naïve young woman, leaves her native Amsterdam to live with Peter in Australia. They are happy, but slowly, imperceptibly, change creeps in. It builds up, their love turns to ruins.
Separated and with a young daughter who adores her father, Clara is faced with agonizing choices. The contrast between her personal struggles and the concerns of the people around her - career bureaucrats who design services for the vulnerable - could not be more farcical.
How does Clara navigate through her web of circumstance? What happens when her decisions escape from the personal and become wide-ranging?
A thought-provoking story about facing complex moral dilemmas.
