From the author of Australia Street comes The House Across The Road, a vivid domestic drama about the lives, loves and life-changing choices of some unforgettable mothers and daughters.
When Isabelle Barnes leaves home one morning, never to return, her country town becomes awash with rumour. Meanwhile, her bewildered young daughter, Abbie, is left to find her own way in the world.
Four years later, when the 17-year-old Abbie unexpectedly falls pregnant, their paths will again collide in tumultuous – and ultimately tragic – ways.
The House Across The Road raises questions of duty, family history, and the profound impact spontaneous decisions can have on future generations.
