Publisher Description

The thunderclap of sexual revolution collides with the black cloud of illegitimacy.


Sixteen-year-old Lindsay Townsend is pretty and popular at school. At home, it's a different story. Dad belts her and Mum's either busy or battling a migraine. So when sexy school-teacher Jon Halliwell finds her irresistible, Lindsay believes life is about to change.


She's not wrong.


Lindsay and Jon pursue their affair in secret, because if the school finds out, Jon will lose his job. If Lindsay's dad finds out, there will be hell to pay. But when a dramatic accident turns her life upside down, Lindsay is separated from the man she loves.


Events spiral beyond her control, emotions conflicting with doubt, loneliness and fear, and Lindsay becomes enmeshed in a shocking true-life Australian scandal. The schoolyard beauty will discover the dangerous games of the adult world. Games that destroy lives.


Lindsay is forced into the toughest choice of her young life. The resulting trauma will forever burden her heart.


Reflecting the social changes of 1970s Australia, The Swooping Magpie is a chilling psychological tale of love, loss and grief, and, through collective memory, finding we are not alone.
