June is searching for her old friend, Mae, missing in Greece. Working from Mae’s diaries, penned immediately prior to her disappearance, June travels to the island of Poros. Walking Mae’s last-known steps, June scrutinises the diaries alongside memories of an intense bond—long-gone, achingly present.

This ruminative novella interrogates the impact of severance from those we love, lingering pasts and possible futures, the lives we live and might have lived.

‘Prendergast is a great observer of humans. She pulls no punches because she wants the truth.’ — Bruce Pascoe

‘These stories shun the sentimental and embrace the taboo.’ — Maria Takolander
