“Prepare to think about how honest you really are. Prepare to laugh. Prepare to weep. But if tears do come, it won’t be because they’ve been manipulated out of you by cheap sentimental trickery; it will be because of the shear beauty and grace of Clarke’s personal atonement.” The Age.

Clarke takes the audience through a fictionalised account of her life, from her role as a much loved only child to a new, more challenging role with the birth of her brain-damaged brother, and her subsequent “escape” to University, where she is captured by first love.
