The Showdown in Wollongong Paddy Bostock

Doctor Quentin Trimble's inveterate hypochondria renders his temporary suspension from work-and relegation to "gardening duty"-all but inevitable. As he struggles to adjust to his new routine, the fairy Fion appears in Quentin's toolshed, ushering him into a world of life-changing possibilities, and making him the catalyst for a series of adventures involving his family, his colleagues and a motley crew of strangers, which unfold against the backdrop of a pandemic of global magnitude. Underpinning the story's entire fabric is a quirky take on romance, whose tongue-in-cheek tone belies a serious appreciation of the redeeming power of love.
