You burn your bridges

going into a foreign forest

- Dorothy Porter

Three people form an unlikely but spirited connection.

Adrian is a renowned scholar, an expert on death in the modern age whose life has stalled.

Kezi, a young and passionate artist, has been rejected by her family. She hurtles through her days with defiance and regret.

Laura is a successful town planner submerged in a seemingly perfect marriage.

In The Buried Life Andrea Goldsmith brilliantly dissects the conflicts and complexities of contemporary life in a story of love and friendship, faith and fundamentalism, subtly underscored by the power of poetry and music.

You can stifle the past but it will breathe again.
