Sylvia's Solution

After losing her son and husband, and moving off the family
farm into the city, Sylvia fi lls her days with visits to the local library,
computer classes, her granddaughter, and retribution.
Sylvia watched her own family fall apart, and those of her
friends, not to mention the slow disintegration of her beloved
hometown, Boganindra, in country New South Wales. Sylvia
begins to feel helpless, and hopeless. Until she has a chance meeting
with a man in her computer class at the local library.
She learns that something can be done. There are ways to stop
someone from ruining peoples lives. From taking over the failing
mum-and-dad businesses in small towns and incorporating them
into much bigger, modern, mechanised businesses and then
making their long serving staff redundant.
With an uncanny knack of fading into the shadows, and being
very unmemorable, Sylvia not only fi nds it almost impossible to
get any kind of service in a coffee shop, but she fi nds that when she
really needs to disappear in a crowd she has no trouble.
