Description

Black Lightning by Dymphna Cusack. This novel is set in contemporary Australia. It depicts the struggle of forty-five-year-old Tempe Caxton to find a meaning for her life when she is deserted by her lover and loses her job as a professional model because she is too old. Typical of many lonely middle-aged women with no goal in life, she attempts suicide and fails. The book opens with her return to life, despairing, embittered, apathetic. The discovery that her dead son has left a daughter (now aged five) by a part-Aboriginal girl galvanises her. The child needs her help. The dust jacket has light general wear, price has been clipped. The book remains very tight and bright.
