In mid-life Tim Menzies finds himself surrounded by a sheaf of letters and photographs he has never seen before - words and images that completely refigure his past and sense of identity. Wartime childhood, red farm dust, fragile contacts with his children, lithe and satisfying strategies of the tennis court, new sex and love - all must rearrange themselves before his eyes. He is not who he has always thought himself to be. (Publisher's blurb.)
