This is the sequel to inte...rnational bestseller The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles (though you don't need to have read that), where a woman contends with divorce, family trouble, and even murder in her journey to discover who she really is. Forty-something mother of two Josephine Cortes is at a crossroads. She has just moved to a posh new apartment in Paris after the success of the historical novel she ghostwrote for her sister, Iris.

As Josephine struggles to find her voice and her confidence amid a messy web of relationships and a string of murders, she and those around her must learn to push on with determination, like headstrong little turtles learning to dance slowly in a world that's too violent and moving too fast.

01.01.2022 WIN: the thrilling new novel from Kathryn Heyman - Storm & Grace. Set amidst the exhilarating world of free-diving, for your chance to win tell us about the mos...t incredible place you've ever been swimming. "Heyman parallels Australian writers Tim Winton & Favel Parett with her elegant & evocative desriptions of the sea" - Herald Sun Watch the video delve into the depths of this story, or read on to learn more: World-famous freediver Storm Hisray hits Grace Cain like a bolt from the blue. Instantly smitten, she abandons her life in the city to follow him to his idyllic Pacific island. There he teaches Grace the ways of the deep, and she learns to sink to unimaginable depths on one single breath. As their world narrows to the two of them, she learns, too, the exquisite pleasures of her body--but also that Storm hides as many secrets as the sea. As he pushes Grace further and further beyond her limits--both in and out of the water--her resistance grows, but so does Storm's need to control her. With a secret of her own to protect, Grace starts to realise that she is in deeper and more dangerous water than she has ever imagined possible. Brilliant, mesmerising, incendiary and haunting, Storm and Grace explores the dazzling thrill of the deep, and the terrors that lie in its shadows. "It took my breath away: the poetry of its sentences; the sensory richness of its moments; the depths and turns of its story--beguiling and brutal." Ashley Hay Competition open to Australian & NZ residents only, ten finished copies to give away - entries close 10am AEDT Monday 30 January. Good luck!
