Elizabeth Salkeld Hunter is dying. Her children have come to pay their respects to the old lady in her bed in her Sydney mansion with round-the-clock nurses and regular staff.

No, but I thought of how it might be done as I read, because I knew there was one. Great review on your site, btw. I botched my comment the first time so went back and did it. One thing you’re right about is this book, and Voss, need two readings.
