'Dark Roots announces the arrival of a major talent... Cate Kennedy has a near pitch-perfect voice and a feeling for the precise moment when stars move in the cosmos.' Peter Temple, author of The Broken Shore
From the strains of a dissolving relationship, to the ripple effect of a chance encounter, the characters in Cate Kennedy's Dark Roots all hover at tipping points in their lives. Whether it's a neglected wife who cannot convince her husband of the truth about his brutish, shamelessly libidinous friends; or a married couple who come to realize that their too-tight wedding rings aren't the only things that are stuck in her relationship, each must make a choice and none is without consequence.
Dark Roots reveals the regrets, successes and unintended ironies that result from the coincidences that propel our lives. It is a bravura collection, by turn moving, richly comic and, above all, unerringly human.
