Asha-lee has been blessed with "The Gift" but refuses to acknowledge it. Growing up in a house with chanting and incense burning, and her mother, Lalita, declaring everyone needs to 'cleanse their spirit', Asha-lee turned from being a girl wanting to appease her mother to Asha, a young woman wanting just to be "normal". Asha rents a flat in an old house on Redhill Corner and instantly falls for its once-elegant charm, determined to make it her home. She finds an old cardboard box in her flat containing paraphernalia from years gone by and feels compelled to learn more about their vague connection to the old house, something she hopes the caretaker, Mr Cantronelli, can help uncover. When Asha meets a young woman and her baby at a nearby bus stop, she learns Jocelyn and her husband, Oscar, have recently moved to the area and are struggling to make ends meet. And despite resistance to her psychic abilities, Asha is drawn into a mysterious love story centred around the place she now calls home. What extraordinary secrets will this house reveal to Asha, if only she'd let it? By learning to embrace her gift, can Asha figure out what happened to the young family in the house on Redhill corner and in doing so, finally accept who she really is?

Autorenporträt
PERTH-BASED Barbara Gurney is a fiction writer and poet. Her novels are diverse in their storyline, but all have a connection to people and places, to desires and self-growth. She tackles everyday characters who see beyond reality or, in her newest novel, Diary of Lies, a main character who creates her own reality. The idea for Diary of Lies came from considering a response to the question - "What are you doing tomorrow?" Our answers invariable are truth-based. But what if we embellished - "Having dinner with the Premier", "Jetting off to Hawaii"? Who cares? No one really. That is the assumption - until they get out of hand.Her fourth poetry collection is due out in 2023, and will be connected to her newly-found passion for art. Having thirteen publications on her shelf, and many awards on file, she's pleasantly gratified at the success of her writing.She becomes a writing, painting hermit during the Western Australian heat, but is generally open to coffee and cake on any given day!
