'Anyway, none of that mattered. We were moving to India'
Global travel, rare antiques and quite a bit of bad behaviour: you probably haven't met a family like the Starlings
Saylor Starling wants to be normal. Her family has other ideas. And there's the issue with what her father does for a living. He may be an authority on ancient ceramics; he might just be smuggling cocaine.
Against a backdrop of 70s counterculture and 80s excess, their journey takes them from hedonistic hippy enclaves in Goa and devout ashrams in the mountains of Anantapur to luxury penthouses in Amsterdam and guns and madness in one of Australia's most historic houses.
Events spiral dangerously out of hand. In an abandoned cattle farm in the outback wilderness of Queensland, Saylor must make a choice.
