AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Concerto Inn threads the stories of two sisters, two betrayals and the two acts of violence - years apart - that lead Isabelle and Madeleine to Ravello, Italy, the mythical place of their childhood. From Hong Kong to the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, from the wild peat country of southern Victoria to Paris, the sisters' past and present become a haunting narrative of longing and unfulfilled desire.' - (Back cover)

Author's abstract: 'The Concerto Inn' is a work of fiction that tells the story of two sisters, each of whom kills a person she loves, each of whom is on the run. The novel traces the strand of betrayal and violence that Madeleine and Isobel enact, and in its conclusion makes it clear that the two stories are the same story repeated. 'The architect's dream - project manual for The Concerto Inn' presents itself as the workbook of the Architect who has been commissioned by the elusive author of 'The Concerto Inn' to design and construct a library. It stands as an endnote, a companion piece to the novel and is part architectural treatise and part ficto-criticism. Infiltrated by a number of different voices in different registers. it considers aspects of narrative structure using the language and metaphors of architecture.
