Delicately balances the joy and pain of what it is to be human with love and humour… an impossibly beautiful story.' - Meredith Jaffé<br/>Nessa keeps the world at arm's length. It's easier that way, for everyone. Her orbit is no bigger than her sister, her parents and a solitary work colleague with a penchant for dying words.<br/>But even these people don't see the real Nessa.<br/>Saddled with her father's impossible gift, a rundown homestead in the middle of nowhere, Nessa reluctantly develops a wellness retreat of sorts - a no-frills escape for women. All too quickly, keeping her distance becomes a trickier dance, even for someone so good at it.<br/>But the toughest test of Nessa's resolve takes the shape of her feisty niece Lily, whose offer to help promote Navada comes with caveats and who ultimately holds up a mirror to a life that neither of them feels ready to see.<br/>Deeply moving and sharply funny, Storylines is a novel about how we see ourselves in an age of distortion.
