My grandmother was one of Australia's greatest novelists, my grandfather won the Victoria Cross for gallantry and my father was hounded all his life as a spy.
This is a three generational story. It's about my life; it's about my father, Ric; it's about my grandparents, the writer Katharine Susannah Prichard and the war hero Hugo Throssell.
It's a study of the psychology of spies and those obsess about them, a narrative of guilt and innocence told through poetry, prose and historical documents.
It's a tale from another time - but one with obvious relevance, given how regularly governments rely on fear and scapegoating today.
Let me tell you what was done to my family.
