Summary

Seeking asylum from the wreckage of her life, Yvette Grimm arrives in Australia and overstays her holiday visa. 

Desperate to carve a life for herself as an illegal British migrant, she invests her hopes in a palm-reader’s prophecy: She is to meet the father of her children before she’s 30. But Yvette is already 29, and the quest takes her on a picaresque journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Set in Perth against the backdrop of Australia’s migrant history, present and past, Nine Months of Summer is a moving, relevant, and at times comical story of personal growth, purpose, and coming of age.
