McPhee-Browne, Laura - Worry Doll

From the author of the acclaimed Cherry Beach comes a thrilling exploration of love and desire — obsessive, all-consuming, and impossible to look away from. On an ordinary day, two women meet on a train. Heloise — the older woman — lives with her boyfriend in Melbourne. Lacey — the other woman — is from Aotearoa and studies the clouds. What follows is anything but ordinary, a passionate affair that will consume them both in mismatched and maddening ways. Propulsive and lyrical, Worry Doll examines desire, memory, and the delusion of love.
