JULIA FALCONER IS AN ARTIST married to a successful winemaker in the coastal hinterland of southern Victoria. From the outside, it looks like Julia and Michael have it all ‒ but things are never as they seem. A storm has destroyed a major crop, Michael is devastated, and is taking it out on Julia. And Julia retreats into herself, taking solace in her work, wine … and the comfort of her friend Christopher.


Having stopped communicating almost entirely with Michael, Julia finds herself grappling with how her feelings towards Christopher are changing. He listens, he cares, he talks. But what does he really want?


Soon Julia will discover how wrong she was about the man she thought she loved … and the man she really does love.

UNDER TEN THOUSAND STARS

- AMAZON AUS REVIEWER

I loved this book - from the title to the cover to the textures in the words. It’s an emotional roller coaster and yet I felt as though I knew Julia & wanted to be there giving her the tough love she needed, pouring her wine & chatting over art. I'm not sure what struck me the most: the sense of place, the layers or the art.

- Prapti Panda, GOODREADS REVIEWER

This book is an intense roller-coaster of emotions, and I enjoyed every minute of the ride! I loved the exotic locales that posed as backdrops in the story. What I liked best, however, was how the author portrayed raw, 'real' human emotions in contrast to this surrealness.
