The Truth About Irene (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781763699229)

Australian women's fiction with a touch of mystery.

Sixty and widowed, Irene flees her big house on a farm for a tiny flat in a Tasmanian tourist town, leaving behind everything but a few personal belongings and her notebooks.

In her oasis by the river, she can forget the past and start afresh - make new friends, open the gift shop she's always wanted, pursue romance with the handsome Max...

But Irene can't ignore her secrets forever. Years ago, while battling cancer and fearing the disease was affecting her mental capacity, she hid messages for herself in notebooks to test her memory.

But even Irene didn't know the truth she was inadvertently recording.

When her cancer returns, Irene must decide what to do about the notebooks. Destroy them? Or risk revealing them, knowing the truth will have devastating consequences for her family?
