The Drowning

CC was an only child and her best memories were the holidays she spent as a child with her cousins at a holiday house on the Victorian coast. A reunion of the cousins has been organised at The Shack to discuss the wills left by the cousins' father and grandfather. Although CC knows that she is to be a co-owner of the holiday house she does not expect the animosity shown to her by most of the cousins when the decision is official.

The Drowning by Fiona Lowe is about the complex relationships in a dysfunctional family. CC soon realises that some of the family object to her inclusion in the partnership and will work to have the legal decision over-ruled. She also discovers that involvement in this family is not what she had imagined as a child. As events unfold, CC realises that she needs help to sort out the complexities of her life and to work out who her friends really are and how she wants to lead her life.
