Loreless

NOMINATED FOR THE 2017 NSW PREMIER'S HISTORY AWARDS AND THE 2018 ADELAIDE FESTIVAL AWARDS FOR LITERATURE. Sometimes, it's impossible to get home. Especially if home is not where you think it is. Indigenous urbanite Billy knows very little about his ancestry and is quite content to let it stay that way. However, one late night out changes all of that. Stranded on a central Australian highway, with only the stars and mosquitoes for company, Billy finds his future determined by a pair of unlikely saviors and a mysterious supernatural entity. In an effort to get himself home and confounded by circumstances beyond his control, Billy embarks on a surreal odyssey. There is only one problem...home is not where he expects it to be. "Part quest, part ghost story, and part contemporary fable, Loreless combines magic, mysticism, wisdom, and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery." –reviewer V. van Roon "This strong and compelling narrative pulls the reader along with a man who has absolutely no idea where he's going, and it's a journey that's well worth taking." – author, Tom Lichtenberg When Billy woke up he was in the back of a bus. He should never have gotten off. As the bus drove away from the roadhouse, he was disoriented. The hangover was brutal and his friends were nowhere to be found. He had two questions. Where was he and what was he going to do now? The Australian desert stretched out for miles. He was alone. In his twenties, having just survived his stag party, Billy was a young man with no sense of his tribal heritage or where he belonged in the world. And now he was lost in ways he couldnt quite comprehend. Then he saw it a figure across the road. When the caravan of trucks barrelled past, it was gone. Billys adventure was just beginning. Youll love this spiritual coming-of-age journey because each point along his path of discovery is shrouded in mystery. Its a literary masterpiece that will leave a mark on your soul. Get it now.
