“Moira Gaskin is the sister of the well-known young Australian novelist, Catherine Gaskin.
Heaven Knows Where is mainly the story of Louise Tarrent, her brief year of married life, ended before the birth of her child by her husband’s tragic death, and the true account of her association with the famous novelist Roderick Catterson.  Forming a quiet background to the vivid-coloured pattern of Louise’s life is the story of Philip Gates, a doctor who had known her when she was a patient at the Charlotte Lister Hospital.  Philip’s influence on Louise and the circumstances in which he knew her have an important bearing on the development of the narrative.  This is a first novel, immensely readable, and bright with promise for the future.”
