From one of Australia's most talented writers comes a moving and compelling novel about the loss of innocence and living on the edge.
Arriving in the city with little money, no job, an indifferent mother and brother, and nowhere to stay, a shy, awkward 14-year-old boy drifts from the city to the bush and back again, doing what work he can, slowly becoming more alienated and distrustful . . .
With gathering momentum, the narrative takes successively dangerous turns, propelling the reader toward its tragic conclusion.
