He is invariably described as a loving father and that made me think about how I would feel if my mother disappeared and everyone said that my father had possibly murdered her,” the author said in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald.“I read an article in the newspaper about an elderly couple who let a young woman into their house, who said she had been a victim of domestic violence and as a result committed a crime. I was intrigued by the idea that the poor elderly couple thought they were doing the right thing by letting her in.”
