Bruny is a searing, subversive novel about family, love, loyalty and a new world order.
America has shifted its priorities under a new leader and China is Australia’s newest ally. When a bomb goes off in remote Tasmania, Astrid Coleman, UN conflict resolution specialist, agrees to return home to help her brother before an upcoming election. But this is no simple task. Tasmania is a close community with a powerful history of activism. Her brother and sister are on either side of politics, allegiances are being re-written, and her father is quoting Shakespeare. Only on the remote island of Bruny does the world seem sane. Until Astrid discovers how far the government is willing to go.
