Abigail Fancy returns to the tiny town that the Fancys have ruled for decades, fresh from her second stint in prison and utterly out of time... A bold, punchy and wry novel from the author of The Other Side of Beautiful.
A story about stories: those we tell, those we believe and those we make into a reality, whether true, murky or not true at all.
Port Kingerton: the insular cray-fishing town at the butt-end of South Australia, where everyone knows everyone. And everyone knows too that when Abigail Fancy left town at seventeen, she hung out the window of her boyfriend's Corolla, middle fingers held high, swearing she'd never come back. And she hasn't, until now.
At her parents' house Abigail finds a party (read town meeting) in full swing over something iffy found on the beach—a thighbone. And although iffy things aren't uncommon in Port Kingerton, Abigail's surprise arrival forces a family—and an entire town—to unpack a twenty-four-year-old secret that rocked this tiny place to its core: that time they found something much iffier ...
Through Abigail, her grandfather Old Dick Fancy's unreliable memories and the collective voices of the town itself, Port Kingerton unravels as old wounds are picked open, skeletons fall from closets and unlikely bonds are forged. But will Abigail finally change the past ...?
Fresh, punchy, expertly crafted and deliciously wry—the author of The Other Side of Beautiful returns with a tour de force of a small-town mystery where a homecoming lifts the veil on a time when a town failed to stand up for its girls.

'The Fancies is a wonder. A brilliantly observed, laugh-out-loud funny, page-turner with a tender heart and a spine of the finest feminist steel.'—Emily Maguire, acclaimed author of An Isolated Incident
'The Fancies is a-page turner; its voice is truly unabashedly Australian. It's delightful in its rhythm, pace, sense of irony and dry humour and total lack of pretension ... establishes Kim Lock as an author to watch.'—Better Reading

As the third wave of the virus hits, all inhabitants of Melbourne are given until 8pm to get to their homes. Wherever they are when the curfew hits, they must live for four weeks and stay within a 5km radius. When Lou’s son Samuel doesn’t arrive home by nightfall she begins to panic. He doesn’t answer his phone. He doesn’t message. His social media channels are inactive. Lou is out of her mind with worry, but she can’t go to the police, because she has secrets of her own. Secrets that Samuel just can’t find out about. Lou must find her son herself and bring him home.
