The Pages

For years Wesley Antill toiled in a shed on the family property in the far west of New South Wales, writing his philosophy, while his brother Roger and sister Lindsey ran the sheep. Now he has died, and his university asks Erica, herself a philosopher, to judge his life's work. With her goes her friend Sophie, a psychoanalyst getting over one failed affair after another, who talks about men all the way across the Blue Mountains. Wesley's papers lie in the woolshed among wool and wheat sacks, just where he left them, and as Erica reads, the visit begins to change both women.
