Description

EVE COULD SEE IT ALL from here. Slime-colored paint unfurled from each of the back steps, withering off the wood onto the cobblestones below. High above her head, obscuring the sun, a skimpy banner of washing (two tea towels, a floral housecoat) swelled in the breeze. And there, only inches away from her face, a spider's web bearded the drooping lower lip of the bottom stair. There was so much to do--the linen cupboards, for example, or the silver--but, lying on the ground, Eve could only think of bigger things, like lawns and walls and floors. The whole house was buckling in the sea air, drying out. The grass needed cutting, and all those trees needed to be hacked back into shape. There was no point in having a house right on the best beach in Auckland if you could only see the water from the upstairs bedrooms.
