The narration follows Stella from birth to age 29 as she confronts epilepsy, death, and lesbianism; Estella as she confronts the Australian desert and the metaphoric edge of her consciousness with her lover Olga; and Estelle, the timeless, mythical voice of women in different cultures and times sharing their stories that range from the mundane to the frightening. The final chapter draws all three voices together through an analogy of comets, snakes, and stars, in which Stella becomes Estella and Estelle and they move into a literal cosmic realm as one. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Lesbians|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Lesbians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00996540 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 710 2 Australia Council.|bLiterature Board. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHawthorne, Susan, 1951-|tFalling woman. |b2nd ed.|dNorth Melbourne, Vic. : Spinifex, ©2003 |z1876756365|z9781876756369|w(OCoLC)59224561 914 ocn315195292 994 93|bGTK
