A Perilous Margin Alison Theresa

"I think I'm having a crisis of faith." "Faith in what?" "In women." Andie is a 27-year-old university student who has opinions on everything from college fashion to modern art. Caroline was a promising sculptor before she gave it up thirty years ago to support her husband in his artistic endeavours. Now he's a world-famous painter while her own pieces sit undisturbed in the garage. When the two women meet they develop a challenging, sometimes tense friendship, and while Andie is forced to examine her own choices in a new light, Caroline fears that the darkest days of her marriage are about to resurface. Alison Theresa's debut novel shows this struggle between ambition, duty, art and love as it unfolds over three decades in the stylish grunge of Newtown, Sydney.
