Pink tutus, sarcasm, amulets and bushfires: that is suburban fantasy in Australian cities. It is magic. Life is never quite what it seems, even without the lost family heritage delivered to Judith and Belinda in boxes. Judith (who owns the haunted lemon tree and half the boxes) wants an ordinary life. Mostly. Belinda wants to not be so very worthy. If Belinda weren't Judith's sister, and if it wasn't for bushfires and bigots, Belinda's life would be perfectly ordinary. Judith will tell you so.

Pink tutus, sarcasm, amulets and bushfires: that is suburban fantasy in Australian cities. It is magic. Life is never quite what it seems, even without the lost family heritage delivered to Judith and Belinda in boxes. Judith (who owns the haunted lemon tree and half the boxes) wants an ordinary life. Mostly. Belinda wants to not be so very worthy. If Belinda weren't Judith's sister, and if it wasn't for bushfires and bigots, Belinda's life would be perfectly ordinary. Judith will tell you so. You don't even have to ask. Belinda's friend Rhonda has a superpower. Each time she sees the future or reveals deep secrets, seekers for the 'New Nostradamus' come closer to destroying her life. Her hold on normalcy is very fragile. So is her hold on safety. Judith and Rhonda are haunted, Judith by her past and Rhonda by her gift of prophecy. Will they ever come into the sunshine and find happiness?
Gillian Polack writes fiction that others have trouble defining. Her novels range from kinda-sorta urban fantasy in The Wizardry of Jewish Women (a Ditmar finalist) to kinda-sorta time travel but probably alternate history in Langue[dot]doc 1305. She is a historian (mainly a Medievalist) and narrative specialist, which means she has written much non-fiction, the larger part of which has appeared as articles. Alas for the world, she is addicted to chocolate, sarcasm and bad jokes. Fortunately, she lives in Canberra, Australia (where she teaches, edits, writes, and cooks), which is too far from most of the world for these things to matter.
