The Crying Room erforscht bewegend Familiengrenzen und Geschichten und findet originelle Wege, um die widersprüchliche Erfahrung der Zugehörigkeit zu einer Familie auszudrücken und gleichzeitig ein Individuum zu sein.
Als Bernie Rodgers und ihr Mann in die Küstenstadt Ballina ziehen, findet sie, dass es mehr als eine physische Distanz gibt, die sie von ihren erwachsenen Töchtern trennt. Bernie liebt ihre Töchter, aber das Problem, das sie erkennt, ist, wie sie sie liebte.
Bernies Tochter Susie ist beruflich erfolgreich, aber ihre Gefühle bleiben fern, auch für sich selbst. Als sie die Verantwortung für die Pflege ihrer Nichte übernimmt, rasten die Stücke ihres Lebens endlich ein. Das unerklärliche Verschwinden eines Flugzeugs taucht ihr Leben jedoch wieder ins Geheimnis.
Moralisch akut und blendend vollbracht, ist dies ein beeinflussender Roman über Einsamkeit, Liebe, Familie und das Bedürfnis zu fühlen.
