DescriptionErica Marsden's son, an artist, has been imprisoned for homicidal negligence. In a state of grief, Erica cuts off all ties to family and friends, and retreats to a quiet hamlet on the south-east coast near the prison where he is serving his sentence. ReviewsSTAFF REVIEW 'The Labyrinth' follows Erica's move from Sydney to a small town on the coast in order to be near her son's new prison. Retured and looking for something to fill her days, she decided to build a labyrinth on her new property. With such a simple premise, this book got me more than I expected as Erica battles with guilt an denial, the past actions and current distance of her son, and the creative and destructive powers of art. As the novel opens, 'the cure for many ills...is to build something'. —Jordan from Brunswick Street Bookstore |
