On a hot, ...so very different day in 1990, Lena Hawkins reluctantly returns from New York. In Perth, Mavis Hawkins feels as if she has spent her whole life waiting. But now her wait is over. Her only daughter is about to land, and she must tell her the truth. Two women, two lives, two paths. But are they so very different? Dark, funny and poignant, Cusp explores the profound impact of time and place on the lives of two women, and questions the things we value, the places we call home, and the spaces between life and death.
