Description
Winner of the City of Fremantle Hungerford Award, Skimming Stones is a poignant and breathtaking story of childhood memories and the experiences that continue to echo throughout our lives.
Grace first met her lover Nate as a teenager, their bond forged in the corridors and waiting rooms where siblings of cancer patients sit on the sidelines. Now an adult, for Grace, nursing is a comforting world of science and certainty.
But the paediatric ward is also a place of miracles and heartbreak and, when faced with a dramatic emergency, Grace is confronted with memories of her sister's illness. Heading south to Lake Clifton and the haunts of her childhood, Grace discovers that a stone cast across a lake sends out ripples long after it has gone.
