Who wants superpowers?
Not Rhonda. Rhonda wants to live an ordinary life.
“My life is a soap opera with magic,” thinks Judith, as she reviews her year.
Before it all begins, she just wants to lose her past and keep her children safe.
Belinda, her sister, wants recipes.
Their lives are simple.
All three women get a lot more than they bargained for in 2002 and 2003.
Bushfires.
A possessed lemon tree.
Prophecy. Magic. Romance.
Violence. Politics.
Family.
Secret Jewish women’s stuff ought to be carried out
in more exotic places than suburban Australia.
Except that sometimes, suburban Australia is chancy and troubling.
Even without those mystery boxes from the great-grandmother no-one talks about.
Even without the Angel of Death and Zoë’s pink tutu.
