Book Description
"Freycinet is about obsessive love and cruel murder in the Tasmanian wilderness, as Ginny O'Byrne experiences disturbing visions of torturous fates for two missing young women... The exquisitely beautiful surrounds of Freycinet are also the site of the thin, tenuous, shimmery line that separates memory and forgetting, permanence and transience, sanity and insanity"--Back cover.
