Red Dirt

By E.M. Reapy

Book Overview

A group of young Irish migrants leave a man called Hopper for dead on an outback road in Australia. They barely know him; no-one will miss him in their world of hostels, wild nights on cheap wine and grinding work on isolated farms.

In this powerful novel about the discovery of responsibility, three young people - Fiona, Murph and Hopper - flee the collapse of their country's economy. In the heat and endless spaces of Australia they try to escape their past, but impulsive cruelty, shame and guilt drag them down, and it is easy to make terrible choices.

An amazing read

I picked this up at a shop in Dublin during holiday last year, took me a little bit to get through the first 50 or so pages, but the deeper I go into the book, the better it got. It consists of 3 different stories but all someway connected. The middle one about Fiona had to be my favorite, it is raw to the point where you feel like you're standing there with each character, watching everything unfold out in front of you.
