AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Billie Shockley is sixty-two, a retired engineer, who lives in the heart of Sydney which is both realistically defined —streets, buildings, parks, and landmarks are named —and futuristically portrayed —it is an embattled city, inhabited entirely by women. Shockley is both lonely and alone. Her narrative is a long, discursive, self-exploratory and explanatory letter to her lost love, a female companion called Bobbie'. Source: untitled review.
