Writer Jane Hamilton has revealed that real life cases inspired the tragic events of her novel. "In 1990, I came across an article...the accused were in a predicament that was so horrifying I resisted writing about it, but I felt keenly that it was something that could happen to any of us. Living as I do -- on the outskirts of a small, tight-knit community -- it wasn't too much of a leap to imagine such a thing happening to me. It possessed me of the idea that in a situation, once accused, there's nothing you can do to save yourself," the writer told BookBrowse magazine online.
