Two rural families, the Pickles and the Lambs, wash up together in a big rambling house in working-class inner Perth and share it for twenty years. The map runs from the Lambs' lost country home in the south-west, into the shared house and its shop in the western suburbs, out to the wartime city on Perth Water, and always back to the Swan River, where a boy drowns at the start and is made whole at the end.
