At Sydneys scandalous Artists Ball... a gunshot...
The Little Grey Woman is rather short story and moves along very quickly but theres plenty of tension and some genuinely creepy moments. The Artists Ball was a real, and occasionally scandalous, costume ball held in Sydney for many years.
Aidan de Brune walked round Australia in two years, and so he is able to give a thoroughly Australian setting and sentiment to this yarn full of thrills.
