When a failed novelist dies she is invited to join a writing group along with Olive Schreiner, Katherine Mansfield and the Bronte sisters. But in Limbo, as in life, all is not what it seems. The title between these covers is an extravaganza, a fanciful work of literature. It consists of faction and fiction, biography and autobiography. It is cobbled together (like a patchwork quilt) out of essays and short stories, nostalgic childhood memories, letters, emails, family trees, work-points, dreams and diary fragments. Litter from a misspent life.
