This month we'll be reading Joy Moody Is Out of Time by Kerryn Mayne - read on for a synopsis:
On her twin daughters’ twenty-first birthday, Joy Moody – proprietor of Bayside’s premier laundromat – is found dead. Yet that is not the strangest thing happening behind the bright pink façade of Joyful Suds. For much of their lives, Joy has been telling Cassie and Andie one big, fat that they are from the future, and that when they turn twenty-one they will travel back to the year 2050. What started as a colourful tale to explain how the girls came to live with her has now become a decades-long deception. Worse still, Joy has started to believe it herself. The big lie is certainly preferable to the truth she just can’t face – about what happened to the girls’ real mother, Britney, and how far Joy's gone to keep them 'safe' . . .With the twins’ twenty-first birthday fast approaching, and with Andie starting to have doubts - particularly when she discovers her ‘future’ is eerily similar to one of her mother's favourite books – time is fast running out for Joy Moody.
