Longlisted for the Booker Prize

A powerful, heart-breaking story about tempting fate and living with the consequences.

Arthur and Jake are brothers yet worlds apart.

Arthur is older, shy, dutiful and set to inherit his father's farm. Jake is younger, handsome and reckless, a dangerous man to know.

When Laura arrives in their rural community, the fragile balance of the brothers' rivalry is pushed to the edge of catastrophe...

Mary Lawson is a genius . I was so invested in this story read by excellent narrators . Each word in her book seems to be carefully chosen and this review can never do justice to how well she writes . I know all her characters so well .

Brilliant
