Synopsis
The city of women is love, Billie Shockley says.
But in the city of women that is her world, love takes strange forms.
The city is Sydney, from its familiar streets and gardens men have been banished. Their existence still threatens its precincts and Old Man Death moves rapaciously and relentlessly among its citizens.
Billie observes them - their hedonism, rivalry, passions, cruelty, power, fragility. Reflecting her own anguish at the loss of love and youth, they suffer brutality and decay.
But, she tells her gentle leopard, she will never admit it's all over.
