SHEER WATER

by Leah Swann

This book describes three days—three days such as you might read about in the news. A woman stops on the Great Ocean Road to assist after witnessing a small plane accident. When she returns to her car, her two sons, aged four and eight, are no longer there. As well as being an utterly unputdownable story, Sheerwater is also beautifully crafted. Leah Swann writes with such grace and beauty, I would have read it cover to cover for the prose alone. Unforgettable.
