Synopsis

A young Australian dancer is chosen to join a ballet company in the United States. She is welcomed into the home of her mother's childhood friend, but her life takes an unpleasant turn when the elder son returns from a holiday abroad and orders her from the house. Hurt and bewildered she leaves without reference to the parents, and there follow a series of events that threaten to destroy her career and her very safety.

About this title

About the Author:

The twelve authors of A Distant Disgrace belong to a small writing group, Karrinyup Writers Club, in Perth, Western Australia. The original idea was to attempt to write in the same voice, but of course this was not possible, the reason being that each has her own distinctive voice and style. The Editor tried to keep the story consistent but wasn't always able to achieve it, with sometimes humorous consequences. Karrinyup Writers Club will celebrate it's 30th year in 2015. There have been changes in membership over the years, but the object has remained the same: to help one another improve their writing skills with the aim of publication or competition success. Among them, the members have a long list of individual achievements. The Club has run several national competitions and produced a number of anthologies made up of winning and other entries. They have also produced several anthologies of their own work. This is their first (and probably last) attempt at writing a joint novel.
