The Genteel Poverty Bus Company, Thea Astley , single work short story
For Macintosh Hope, marriage, the 'fustiness of the Romantic poets' in academia, and society no longer hold any attraction. However, solitude and isolation on an uninhabited island in north Queensland do. All seems perfect there for Mac, until the treachery of a greedy developer becomes apparent.
 (p. 1-122)
Inventing the Weather, Thea Astley , single work short story
With her marriage to a rapacious property developer failing and her three materialistic children becoming more and more distant, a disillusioned Julie Truscott walks away from her mundane life into a vastly different experience.
 (p. 123-234)
