In The Blink Of An Eye by Oliver Eade
Absolutely captivating.This is a masterpiece of women's fiction.--Booklist (starred review)
Absorbing.Fast-moving but emotionally resonant. --Kirkus reviews In the Blink of an Eye is award-winning author Jesse Blackadder's deeply emotional drama that explores a family's path to forgiveness and redemption in the aftermath of a tragedy. The Brennans--parents, Finn and Bridget, and their sons, Jarrah and Toby--have made a sea change, from chilly Hobart, Tasmania, to subtropical Murwillumbah, New South Wales. Feeling like foreigners in this land of sun and surf, they're still adjusting to work, school, and life in a sprawling purple clapboard house, when one morning, tragedy strikes. In the devastating aftermath, the questions fly. What really happened? And who's to blame? Determined to protect his family, Finn finds himself under the police and media spotlight. Guilty and enraged, Bridget spends nights hunting answers in the last place imaginable. Jarrah--his innocence lost--faces a sudden and frightening adulthood where nothing is certain. In the Blink of an Eye is a haunting, redemptive story about forgiveness and hope.
Eade, Oliver: - A retired hospital doctor, the writer has written over a hundred short stories, many winning prizes and some published as a collection in Lost Whispers and other stories. Walls of Words is an updated and revised collection of the writer's short stories. He was seven times winner of the Wilfred Hopkins Creative Writing Prize and awarded 2010 'writer of the year' status by the Society of Civil and Public Service Writers. He has also published four children's novels, five young adult novels and three adult novels, and has written twelve plays. He gives talks and leads writing workshops for adults and children and has led drama workshops in Scottish high schools for senior students. Also a keen photographer, he took a diploma in photography, belongs to a camera club and gives talks on photography. He has published books of photographs. He met his Chinese wife through playing piano duets as students and continues an active interest in music. They are active members of a local music society, hosting musicians from across the globe. They share an extended family spread across four continents, with children and granddaughters in America and Switzerland. Their travels inspire both Oliver's writing and his photography. He has been involved in charity work, once chairing a charity that helped women and children in SubSaharan Africa suffering as a result of the devastation of HIV/AIDS. Currently he and his wife are Scottish Borders representatives for an Edinburgh-based children's hospital charity. When he has time, he escapes into his beloved garden, in some ways an extension of self that gets reborn every year rather than fading into a mess of hollows and creases like the thing he tries to avoid looking at in mirrors.
