Thrum is a light-hearted, humorous, respectfully erotic and delicately romantic novel about how little it takes to make people happy. In a time-worn country town, one woman's accidental, erotic discovery sets in motion a comedy of errors as she and a naïve group of residents conspire to transform their community. Iris, the angry baker, rediscovers her love of French cuisine and feels bold enough to dress as she pleases. The derisive Ellen, no longer hides her scars and sets about painting the town. Octogenarian, Moira Gatton, divests herself of all her treasured possessions and gives up smoking. Miranda the dragon, discovers who she really loves. Max, the bikie tattooist, becomes a man as he could never have imagined. Tiffany fills her life with the things from a shared love. Phoebe's unfettered laugh rings out in her salon ... ... and Ian, for once, knows more about everything than anybody else.
