When Caitlin inherits a significant sum of money on her fortieth birthday, she decides to break the habit of a lifetime and throw caution to the wind. She’s about to tell her husband Paul that they’re leaving London on a once-in-a- lifetime journey around the world, only … she doesn’t tell Paul that, because before the candles are lit, he tells her that he’s in love with someone else. After a drunken night trying to console herself, Caitlin books tickets to Australia – anything to get as far away as possible.What does the world feel like when it’s ending for you, and no-one else? What does life feel like when you are running away from it? This is a story that begins in a way you expect and ends very far from there. It is a story of creaking English hallways and vast Australian skies. Of hands that feel like warm sandpaper, of cicadas that sing so loudly they drown out the grief. Of white wine and an old piano and children who want their parents back from the dead. It is a magical tale of travel and mystery. And a very human tale of sex and loss and seawater and the primal joy of coming home. This is The Cicada House.
