Garnet - Paperback

by Jennifer Severn (Author)

"Beautifully observed... A world of emotions inside a small town." Gretchen Shirm, author of The Crying Room

In the rural Australian town of Garnet, everyone knows everyone-and everything. Or so they think.

Ramesh runs a failing diner, fights off debt collectors, and dodges his mother's matchmaking-until mysterious offers to buy his business hint at secrets buried deep in the town's past. Around him, lives collide: a woman haunted by tragedy, a husband watching his wife fade, a grandmother desperate to make amends, a lawyer trapped in a loveless marriage.

Told through eight interlocking stories, Garnet reveals how even the tightest-knit communities have their secrets-and their dropped stitches.
