Summary
A savage exploration of family relationships from the Nobel Prize-winning Patrick White.
Elizabeth Hunter, an ex-socialite in her 80s, has a mystical experience during a summer storm in Sydney which transforms all her relationships: her existence becomes charged with a meaning which communicates itself to those around her.
From this simple scenario Patrick White unfurls a monumental exploration of the tides of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, impotence and longing that fester within family relationships.
In the Sydney suburb of Centennial Park, three nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth, as her son and daughter convene at her deathbed. But, in death as in life, Elizabeth remains a destructive force on those who surround her.
The Eye of the Storm is a savage exploration of family relationships - and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them.

Impossible to listen to!
With less read than a quarter of this book, which I already know and was excited to see finally released on Audible, I have abandoned it. The narrator makes the book impossible to listen to. Her voice is strident, harsh, sometimes screaming and wooden. Her narration is an exercise in pronunciation and enunciation.Characters never come to life and live as personalities and people and the story gets lost in the stridency of the voice. My biggest listening disappointment on Audible ever!
