AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Who are you to someone else, and what part do you play in his or her story? After a tragic car accident leaves his school in grief, Hamish finds himself pulled into the lives of the people left behind in his rural Australian town. With hard-hitting themes of unrequited love, sexuality, bullying, death and suicide, I Had Such Friends is a poignant story about self-discovery, grief and the tragic power of silence. It pushes us to reflect on our own sliding doors moment.'
