It tells of one momentous year in the life of three country girls who are sharing a house in Melbourne for their first year of Uni. Katerina is a blonde goddess rich bitch; Jude's father was killed in Chile and she is determined to become a doctor like him and continue his good work; and Carmel is shy and insecure but with the voice of an angel.
The story is told by all three of them - Carmel, then Jude, then Katerina.
