Description

Tender and brutal and blazingly brilliant, the new novel from the acclaimed author of the international bestseller The Slaptakes an unflinching look at modern Australia - at our hopes and dreams, our friendships and our families - and asks what it means to be a good person, and what it takes to become one.
