Friday Brown by Vikki Wakefield
As devastation threatens, Friday must face up to her past, and fight, for the first time in her life. From the winner of the Adelaide Festival Award for Literature, 2012, FRIDAY BROWN is a remarkable story, described by the Weekend Australian as a story with 'characters so palpable you can imagine passing them in the street.'
FRIDAY BROWN will haunt you long after you've turned the last pageVikki Wakefield weaves the fantastical and the gritty into a harrowing, heartbreaking, intensely suspenseful story that's as dangerous and starkly gorgeous as the Australian outback. It will break your heart then put the pieces back together in a new way. I absolutely loved this book. * Libba Bray, author of THE DIVINERS *
Wakefield's prose is rich, gorgeous and raw and I hope Hot Key have the smarts to snatch up everything she writes. It's not often you discover such a unique and exciting voice. -- Keith Gray * The Scotsman *
Packed full of unspoken mysteries, this is an absorbing read, with some beautifully-crafted sentences, which will leave readers with many unanswered questions. A story that deserves to be read and passed on again and again. * Booktrust *
