Book description
What are The Pages?
On a family sheep station in the interior of Australia, a brother
and sister work the property while their reclusive brother, Wesley
Antill, spends years toiling away in one of the sheds, writing a philosophy.
Now he has died. Erica, a philosopher, is sent from Sydney to
appraise his work. Accompanying her is Sophie, who needs a distraction
from a string of failed relationships. Her field is psychoanalysis.
These two women, each with different views of the world, face a
situation they have not experienced before, with surprising results.
