Crimes of Neglect
Bea is forty-four, nomadic and alcoholic, a cellist of sorts. Her cello, mostly unplayed, is part of the equilibrium she seeks from Christchurch to Auckland to Sydney. In this first novel the author explores our ideas about motherhood and the family, about responsibility, hope and loss.
