Two sisters inherit the family home and go back to living the quiet
life in Trundle, an imaginary country town on the coast of NSW,
Australia. Both Marie and Ronnie have been hurt by life, but their
hopeful new start soon deteriorates into antagonism. Conflict is
fanned by the arrival of new neighbours; the Lal family, whose new
house overshadows their home and disturbs their peace.
When Mr Lal's wife becomes ill and dies, he evolves a grandiose
plan to build a monument in her honour. His Taj will be a tribute
to his culture and a memorial to his own struggle as a migrant and
outsider. His search for land takes him to Pelican: a coastal
commune on the outskirts of town.
Marie's past involved a scandal at this commune. Decades on,
she wants to make amends, renewing contact with long-term residents
who are now trying to redefine their purpose. First Marie and then
her sister become entangled in the commune's way of life,
uncovering facts and facing needs that neither knew about
themselves. In Trundle, human behaviour is at its best and worst.
Unexpected kindness and the rebirth of love counteract the crooked
deals, racism, perversion and violence which show that small-town
life is anything but uneventful.
