The FanciesAbigail Fancy returns to the tiny town that the Fancys have ruled for decades, fresh from her second stint in prison and utterly out of time A bold, punchy and wry novel from the author of The Other Side of Beautiful. A story about stories: those we tell, those we believe and those we make into a reality, whether true, murky or not true at all. Port Kingerton: the insular cray fishing town at the butt end of South Australia, where everyone knows

but her timing couldn't be worse

The request sends Martha into a tailspin

As Ferris takes a keen analytical eye to the paintings

illuminating anecdote and pithy observation

Bad Monkeys unfolds at lightning speed

India's most trusted name in personal finance

and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed

Carson keeps to himself

the pages turning

the bleat of a goat or the bark of a dog
