A couple’s cat leaves offerings of dead
birds freighted with mysterious import. A foreign worker helps construct a concert
hall that reawakens his musical longings. A young diver hunts venomous cone
snails for a lovelorn researcher.
With disarming simplicity, Barrie
Sherwood charts how the complex bonds between lovers are unravelled to the
point of breaking, and the often strange and touching ways we define ourselves
and our relationships in a fluctuating world.
