Description

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.

A Week in the Life of Cassandra Aberline is an evocative exploration of the ties that bind us to our past and the mysteries that can define a lifetime.
