Seeking asylum from the wreckage of her life, Yvette Grimm arrives in Australia and overstays her holiday visa.<br /><br />Desperate to carve a life for herself as an illegal British migrant, she invests her hopes in a palm-reader&rsquo;s prophecy: she is to meet the father of her children before she&rsquo;s thirty. But Yvette is already twenty-nine, and the quest takes her on a picaresque journey of self-discovery and transformation.<br /><br />Set in Perth against the backdrop of Australia&rsquo;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.
