Joey is young, indifferent. He's drifting around Western Sydney unaware that his
passivity is leading him astray. And then one day he is involved in a violent
crime, one that threatens to upend his life entirely. Elaine, his grandmother,
is a proud Lebanese woman with problems of her own. When Joey is arrested, she
is desperate to save face and hold herself together. In her family, history
repeats itself, vices come and go, and uncovering long-buried secrets isn't
always cathartic. This gripping and hard-hitting novel reveals the richness and
complexity of contemporary Australian life and tests the idea that facing
consequences will make us better people.
