'Twelve-year-old Cecilia Maria was named after saints and martyrs to give her something to live up to.
Over my dead body, she vows.
In the blinding heat of 1970s Queensland, she battles six brothers on her side of the fence, and the despised Kapernicky girls, lurking on the other side of the barbed wire.
Secrets are buried deep, only to surface decades later when Cecilia drags her own reluctant teenagers back home to dance on a grave and track down some ghosts.' Source: www.randomhouse.com.au/ (Sighted 13/08/2009).
