Publisher's Synopsis
'We must be ruthless, ' Edward snarls, 'because we lead ruthless lives: you, of anyone, should understand that. This is our existence, Jordan, this house, this land, that father, that mother - there's no pity, there's no mercy, there's probably no escape. It is hard, Jordan, and we have to be hard to survive it, and the best we can do is fight anything that threatens to make it worse.' 'At last a strong young voice ... this is a bravura performance.' - Sun-Herald 'A brilliant piece of intense writing.' - Canberra Times
