Notes

'I want to talk with myself, Mum. Over there...'
There is a small green oasis on a wild piece of coast, which has the power to change its visitors.
Twenty-year-old Zillah loves and knows it well: this year she arrives in search of solace, after a disturbing episode overseas. Here at Roimata, she hopes to meet Joseph: her love of two summers. But this year there is no welcome; she has to keep moving upriver.
Walking into the heart of the West Coast bush, Zillah wants to turn her back on a time she'd sooner forget. But relentless memory, and the five men she meets up the rugged valley, force her to confront what haunts her. What light can four strangers - and the enigmatic Joseph - shed on Zillah's
disquieting past?
Bewitching evocative of its wilderness setting, and the heat of Spain, Zillah is a spellbinding,
psychological thriller. Exquisite, astute, affecting, the novel brings the 'Watermark Trilogy' to a
rich conclusion.
