Narelle is a high achiever, a lawyer, with working-class roots and political clout. But something keeps bringing her back to Pyrmont. This peninsula was her family's bedrock, and the home of her extraordinary grandmother June, who held everything together through the decades: a son's brush with the law, a daughter's battles with demons, a husband's decline. Life revolved around the sugar refinery. For a time this was the sweetest neighbourhood in the country. But the family bedrock, like the sugar, has dissolved away. Narelle can't fix the past, but maybe she can fix the future.
