Description
After a year apart, Maryanne returns to her husband, Roy, bringing their eight-year-old son Daniel and his teenage sister Freya. The family move from Sydney to Newcastle, where Roy has bought a derelict house.
As Roy patches holes in the floor and plasters over, Maryanne believes that they can rebuild a life together. But Freya doesn't want a fresh start — she just wants out — and Daniel drifts around the run-down house in a dream, infuriating his father, who soon forgets the promises he has made.
Some cracks can never be smoothed over, and tension grows until their uneasy peace is ruptured.
The Restorer by Michael Sala is a gripping exploration of family dynamics, filled with suspense and emotional insight.
