y separately published work icon Closing Down Sydney : Hachette Australia , 2017 10700107 2017 single work novel science fiction

'No matter how strange, difficult and absurd the world becomes, some things never change. The importance of home. Of love. Of kindness to strangers. Of memories and dreams.

'Australia's rural towns and communities are closing down, much of Australia is being sold to overseas interests, states and countries and regions are being realigned worldwide. Town matriarch Granna Adams, her grandson Roberto, the lonely and thoughtful Clare - all try in their own way to hold on to their sense of self, even as the world around them fractures.

'What would you do if all you held to be familiar was lost? More importantly, where do you belong?'
