In 1949 Guy Langton's house--like his family's fortunes--has seen better days. But in his grandmother Alice's diaries he uncovers more than just a story of a dynasty in decline. He finds a tale of England and Australia, a saga of deception, disappointment and loss. Alice emerges as one of the truly remarkable characters in Australian literature.
