We all have secrets, but Henry Kennedy's are bigger than most. As his brain cancer takes hold and dementia increases, how will he keep up his assumed identity? Heather Rose creates a compelling story around the possibility that potential murderer, Lord Lucan, escaped from England and settled in Tasmania.
Is not telling the whole truth the same as lying? As Henry's life starts to unravel, he discovers that his partner Lili has secrets of her own. Her estranged daughter, Suki, suddenly appears with her son, Charlie, which creates a complex family dynamic.
Rose's sympathetic portrayal of Henry's situation is very moving and her characters and their emotions are realistically drawn.
