Voices in the Dark
A powerful and poignant rural family drama from acclaimed author Fleur McDonald, bestselling author of Out in Nowhere and Shock Waves.
'A family drama at heart, the book is an authentic exploration of grief, family estrangement, and life on the land.' -- The AU Review
Sassi Stapleton is called home after learning that her grandmother is gravely unwell. Less than an hour from her hometown of Barker, she swerves to avoid a kangaroo, sending her car rolling down an embankment. Trapped and unable to call for help, Sassi is left hanging--only to discover when she's finally rescued that her grandmother has already passed away.
As the family gathers to grieve, Sassi's mother, Amber, returns from South Africa. Her arrival immediately reignites long-standing tensions with her brother, Abe, bringing old wounds back to the surface.
When it becomes clear that Sassi's grandfather, Mr. Stapleton, can no longer live alone, the family begins searching for a caregiver. Rasha steps into the role and quickly becomes indispensable. Before long, Mr. Stapleton seems happier than he has been in years.
Then the bruises begin to appear.
Mr. Stapleton grows withdrawn and refuses to speak about what's happening--even to Sassi.
No one believes Rasha could be responsible. Amber is his daughter. Sassi is his granddaughter. Surely none of them could hurt the man they all love.
Or could they?
