Vertigo

A haunting and lyrical novella about a grieving couple who flee the city for the Australian coast, where the destructive power of nature offers an unexpected path towards renewal.

Luke and Anna decide on a sea-change. They leave the city, fleeing a past and a future that fill them with fear. On the coast they discover a natural world that is both destructive and rejuvenating. Events sweep them up and they must confront what they have tried to put behind them.

Vertigo is a fable of love and awakening, a bush pastoral about the unexpected way emotions can return and life can change.
