Trust

Author: Kate Veitch

I'm a lucky woman, thinks Susanna Greenfield.  And why wouldn't she? She has a happy, loving family and a solid career.  But beneath the carefully maintained surface, seismic forces are at work.  Fault lines are forming, not only in Susanna, but within each member of her family.  In a single, tragically ill-judged moment, the fabric it has taken a lifetime to construct can be torn apart.

'A compelling story, Trust is a bold gaze into the soul of relationships . . . Veitch takes the tender, profound way she dealt with characters in Listen and builds on it.'
Courier Mail

'Veitch . . . excels at capturing the essence of familial relationships, and bringing their affectionate, tense, frustrated, loving, humorous and sometimes cataclysmic interactions vividly to life.' Australian Book Review

'Kate Veitch is obviously talented.  There are plenty of books out there that try to explore universal themes or truths but it's rate to have this kind of success.' Canberra Times

'Nourishingly warm-hearted.' The Age
