A tender, thoughtful story about a woman's journey back to her home town - and the painful moment that changed her life forever.

After forty-five years in Sydney, Cassandra Aberline returns to her home town in the Western Australian wheat belt in the same way she left- on the Indian Pacific train.

As they cross the emptiness of the vast Australian inland, Cassie travels back through her memories, too, frightened that she's about to lose them forever - and with them, her last chance to answer the question that has haunted her almost all her life.

Reviews for A Week in the Life of Cassandra Aberline

'The book shows how magic, fantasy and creativity can burst out in the most apparently mundane of lives and places...Here is a writer whose talent is as magical as her genre.' * Sydney Morning Herald, on Siddon Rock * `Delights and shocks with its spiritual energy and refreshingly original voice.' * Courier-Mail, on Siddon Rock * 'This book will echo in your memory.' * Herald Sun, on Siddon Rock * `With its Shakespearean plot dimensions, A Week in the Life of Cassandra Aberline exists on the plane of memories, where grief can enlarge small events and erase larger ones... An engaging read.' * Newtown Review of Books * `A tender novel about how and why we forget.' * New Zealand Herald * `Guest's descriptive prose is exquisite...A marvellous read from a talented author.' * BookMooch * `This gentle story is wrapped around a journey on the Indian Pacific train across the vast Australian continent.' * Australian Women's Weekly * `With insight, intelligence and unexpected tenderness, Guest explores notions of trust and betrayal, identity and responsibility, and in particular, memory and what may be left if it is stripped away.' * Adelaide Advertiser *
