The scary monsters in this novel are the terrifying ways that racism, misogyny, and ageism play a role in two different time frames in Australia.
One part follows Lili in the early 80s and the other is about Lyle who lives in a near-future Australia. The parts exist independently and can be read in any order.
The writing was good, but I would have liked more connection between both stories.
