AbstractHistoryArchive Description

In mid-life Tim Menzies finds himself surrounded by a sheaf of letters and photographs he has never seen before - words and images that completely refigure his past and sense of identity. Wartime childhood, red farm dust, fragile contacts with his children, lithe and satisfying strategies of the tennis court, new sex and love - all must rearrange themselves before his eyes. He is not who he has always thought himself to be. (Publisher's blurb.)

  • Dedication: In memory of my brother Ian 26 february 1940 - 5 December 2001 who might well have known all of Tim's close people.
  • Epigraph: Quotes from Elizabeth Barrett, Miles Franklin, Virginia Woolf and Wallace Stevens.
