The Madison Gap
A mesmerising and ultimately explosive story of a woman’s awakening. In crisp, stirring prose, Patricia Donovan evokes the angst of family discordance and as we follow Lexi Madison’s search for understanding, captures exquisitely the disquiet and uncertainty that comes when dreams are challenged by reality.
