• Sommario/riassunto: Past Perfect is a story of love and loss, prejudice and resolution, as well as the search for selfhood. Prompted by a brush with mortality, her children approaching adulthood and the relationship with her husband being tested, Sue Spencer embarks on a search for meaning in her life-for a better sense of who she might be. Her quest takes her to to Akaroa, to France and back, tracing her genealogy.
