About this product

Product Information

A moving tale of grief, community and the possibility of starting over, by an award-winning Australian author. Erica Marsden's son, an artist, has been imprisoned for homicidal negligence. In a state of grief, Erica cuts off all ties to family and friends, and retreats to a quiet hamlet on the south-east coast near the prison where he is serving his sentence. There, in a rundown shack, she obsesses over creating a labyrinth by the ocean. To build it-to find a way out of her quandary-Erica will need the help of strangers. And that will require her to trust, and to reckon with her past. The Labyrinth is a hypnotic story of guilt and denial, of the fraught relationship between parents and children, that is also a meditation on how art can both be ruthlessly destructive and restore sanity. It shows Amanda Lohrey to be at the peak of her powers.

Well deserved place in the shortlist
Wonderful book; tender and compassionate, but coolly paced and acutely illuminating in its observation of fractured people and how they manage; no spilling over into excess sentiment here; and a fiercely compelling story as well.
