Songlines

By John R. Graham-Pole

Book Overview

Final-year university students Jonah and Ellen face life-threatening illness together-and discover love. As their love deepens, they embrace intimacy and creativity, courage and honesty, joy and pride.

A compelling reminder that-along the songlines of the cancer journey-when the patient is held at the centrepoint of care, and when professional and personal caregivers work as partners with profound skill and compassion, a beautiful story unfolds. Songlines is that story.

This is emeritus professor of pediatric oncology and palliative care John Graham-Pole's third novel in his trilogy inspired by young people with cancer. It evokes an abundance of compassion, know-how, humour, and hope.
