"A summer storm in Sydney drives Elizabeth Hunter, an ageing ex-socialite, to recall a mystical experience that transforms all her relationships: her existence becomes charged with a meaning which communicates itself to those around her. In the Sydney suburb of Centennial Park, three nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth as her son and daughter convene at her deathbed. But, in death as in life, Elizabeth remains a destructive force on those who surround her. From this simple scenario Patrick White unfurls a savage exploration of family relationships - and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them."--Cover.
