FBi's Canvas

Families are strange things. You can feel comfortable for ages, sure of where you stand, with your parents, your brothers or sisters, maybe even kids, and then something happens that just rocks everything. From the outside it might seem like nothing, but it's amazing how easy it is to shake those solid bonds to the core. Fiona McGregor explores one of those moments in her new book, Indelible Ink, and it's truly a Sydney story that's split between richly tended gardens in Sirius Cove on the lower north shore, and the warehouses and terraces of Kings Cross and Surry Hills.
