KALIMNA HEIGHTS

Beschreibung

For centuries the people of Kalimna Heights, a suburb of Sydney, have lived through joys and successes, grandiose achievements, and bitter disappointments - and tragedy stalks the inhabitants just as surely as does healing, forgiveness, and love. With a stone-rendered church at its heart, the daily lives of its solicitors, book distributors, academia, families and friends are traced from the 1800s to the present day. Marriages and break-ups, dementia, crime, violence, and sudden death sprinkle a background of romance and of solidarity. as one incumbent minister after another follows through the years. Mystery and mayhem, intrigue and emotion, laughter and pain, take us on a rollercoaster ride that thrills and shocks, and will leave you thinking about it long after the book's end.
