Patricia Grace's major new novel merges recent headlines with stories of heartfelt family history. It is an account of the mysteries between the generations, where the present is the pivot, the centre of the spiral, looking outward to the past and future that define it.

Believers to the Bright Coast The infamous Dr Crippen's mistress finds a new life in disreputable Auckland in the 1920s… A French nun, Sister Marie Claire, gives herself to working amongst the disabled and the poor… Young Spicer, a slow-witted lad who looks great in a chauffer's uniform, finds himself deeply involved in the lives of both. Together they form an unlikely threesome.
