And so begins an unexpected new obsession…
Drawn via a bizarre and compelling dream to the small capital of South Australia, Ethan Farrell, Hollywood’s latest superstar, and exceedingly sought-after bachelor, encounters a young woman unlike any he has ever come across.
Why, although he tries, and knows it would simplify matters, can he not rid his mind of this child-like woman? What is this mystifying hold she seems to have on him? His minder, Scott, acquires his own answers, while Ethan’s sister, Lucy–duly obliged to reveal a long-kept secret, inherent to her–concludes she must journey far to unravel the unexplained: as her brother’s ensuing, and confounding refusal to provide any clarity, leaves everyone wanting.
Does Ethan learn to listen; will he allow himself to hear… see beyond his own deceiving thoughts? Or does his past keep him deaf and blind. And who or what is the Chameleon?
This story is about discovery; it touches on recognising, understanding, and facing the fears hidden within. It is about betrayal, loyalty, love, and remembering who we are. It speaks of valuing what many take for granted.
Written in an unconventional style, the author’s foremost wish is that her readers develop an intimate connection with her much loved characters; that they enjoy and feel at ease with the undemanding narrative, and that with a little introspection, they can relate to and draw on the deeper message she is endeavouring to convey.
Circa l’autore
Victoria, better known as Vicki, was born in Cordoba, Spain; she was a toddler when Australia became her new and permanent home. ‘At the Chameleon, Turn’ is Vicki’s first novel. The title imparts the third portion of a statement she startlingly received while meditating, and becomes clearer in its meaning throughout the course of the book. It contains a message for all.
