Slipping seamlessly from reality in to underwater world, Raffy's Shapes delivers a journey with an eclectic cast of companions. Raphaella Turner is a painter with a difference - she can change shape and, at night, swoops as a bird over dark waters or, fishlike, swims to deeper depths. By the lake she meets her natural mother and together they build a world beneath the water. Meanwhile, pregnant Raffy is changing shape again; but who is the her half-brother and local farmer's son, Joe, or the refined art agent, Oliver? Art world politics, family feuds and sexual betrayal make this book an unforgettable read.
