Description
Two lives unfold across continents in this searching, beautifully observed novel: Laura Fraser, a restless Australian traveler, and Ravi Mendes, a Sri Lankan whose journey to Australia is shaped by political upheaval and exile. Their contrasting experiences of movement—one chosen, the other imposed—raise profound questions about privilege, displacement, belonging, and the stories people tell about the places they visit. As their paths intersect in Sydney, the novel explores the uneasy distance between travel as escape and migration as necessity, rendered in precise, humane, and quietly incisive prose.
