WAIG Women’s Discussion Group

When a young, unidentified woman is pulled alive and well from Sydney Harbour in 2013, the connections to another woman – found in similar circumstances forty years earlier – present psychiatrist Kathryn Brookley with a terrible decision as the events of the present and past begin to mirror each other and the gap between truth and illusion shrinks. Dr Carmel Bendon is a Sydney author and academic specialist in Medieval Mystics and their writings. She often wondered how people would react today if confronted by a miraculous experience. The result is the novel Grasping at Water.
