Writer Elspeth Sandys was born during the Second World War, the result of a brief encounterbetween two people who would never meet again. The first nine months of her life were spentin the Truby King Karitane Hospital in Dunedin, where she was known by her birth name,Frances Hilton James. This would change with her adoption into the Somerville family. A newbirth certificate was issued and Frances James became Elspeth Sandilands Somerville.Tom and Alice Somerville, Elspeth's new parents, lived with their son John in Dunedin'sAndersons Bay. While Elspeth was happy among the ebullient and welcoming Somerville clan,she had a difficult relationship with her adoptive mother, who was frequently hospitalisedwith mental health problems. Elspeth's search for her birth parents did not begin until much later in her adult life. What she discovered after an exhaustive search provided answers that were both disturbing and, ultimately, rewarding. What Lies Beneath is a searing, amusing, and never less than gripping tale of a difficult life, beautifully told.
