Her stories are populated by people at tipping points in their lives - moments that find them poised between a familiar past and an unfamiliar future. In 'The Testosterone Club', a neglected wife plans an unsavoury revenge on her boorish husband. In 'Resize', a married couple realise their too-tight wedding rings may symbolise wider aspects of their relationship. And in 'Cold Snap', a young boy senses that the newly arrived tree changer may have some sinister intents. Heartbreaking, evocative and richly comic, \u003ci\u003eDark Roots\u003c\/i\u003e unveils the traumas that incite us to desperate measures, and the coincidences that drive our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Cate Kennedy writes with the warm understanding and cold precision of a master.
