''If you have nothing nice to say, say it twice.'
'Such is Pree's motto in life. How different the sharp tongued Pree is to Katherine, a suburban housewife and mother. And yet both these women are intertwined mysteriously in a bond that will unravel as they face an unexpected death.
'This novel details the coming together, and ultimate disintegration, of a group of friends. Where major relationship changes follow seemingly insignificant events. Set in Melbourne, against a backdrop of the Beatles music from the time, all is not as it appears in this comic but dark tale of misunderstandings and incidental hurt.' (Publication summary)
