Description

Vivienne's diary reveals the complexities of life in early 20th-century Australia, where social norms and cultural influences shaped the lives of those in power. A tragic event in 1916 sets off a chain of emotions that affects not only Vivienne but also her young daughter Phyllis. Phyllis navigates a difficult childhood after her mother's death, finding solace in Tally, who becomes her confidant and later her husband. However, their marriage is marked by struggles with addiction and a loveless union, leaving Phyllis to find comfort in unexpected places. Her loyal companion, Ginnie the Persian cat, provides a unique perspective on her life, weaving together themes of love, loss, and resilience. As Phyllis grows into adulthood, she faces challenges that test her resolve, but through it all, Ginnie remains by her side, offering a sense of stability and companionship.
