| Description |
Brought up on the wrong side of the tracks with an unrelenting limp, Chloe has had to develop a vicious outer-shell to shield against daily bullying. Moving to a new town in the middle of nowhere hasn’t made things easier.
Chloe has bleak hopes for her future until she meets ‘Odd Boy’ Chris, the painfully unpopular son of her new English teacher. An intense bond is forged and the two outsiders begin to see the glimmer of new possibilities amidst their small town underworld.
Evoking the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, Vivienne Walsh’s This is Where We Live is packed with vivid poetic language that is brimming with as much life and energy as its characters. Winner of the 2012 Griffin Award, this is an exceptional piece of exciting new Australian writing. |
