When Frances met Charlie at a party in Melbourne, Australia, he was married with a young son. Now that she and Charlie
have moved to subtropical Sydney, a lusher and more chaotic city, Frances has an unshakable sense that the world has
tipped on its axis. Everything seems alien and exotic—and Frances is haunted by the unknowability of Charlie’s previous
life.
As a young art historian, Frances takes mind-clearing walks around her neighborhood with her dog. Behind the fence of
one garden, she thinks she sees a woman in an old-fashioned gown, but something is not right. It’s as if the garden and
the woman both exist in a vacuum suspended in time, “at an angle to life.”

“It’s a fast and captivating read, leaving us to wonder what we might be missing as we wander through the landscapes of our own lives.” —The Charlotte Observer
