In the evenings, Paula escapes the cares of life by skipping from rooftop to rooftop with the mysterious ladder man, who visits the Sevillians' balconies each evening at dusk. By day, she is encouraged by Father Rastro to be a mother to the Morisco boys, who are ¿also seeking liberation. But does the painting hold a secret that can truly free Paula?Sallie Muirden's powerful, poetic and moving novel is a testament to our capacity for wonder, for art and for love.Praise for Sallie Muirden's WE tOO SHALL BE MOtHERS'Original, intelligent and playful' Katherine England, tHE ADVERtISER 'a tour de force in its elegant brevity' Michael Sharkey, tHE WEEKEND AUStRALIAN
