About the book
Coming home to Tasman Peninsula, Australia, Ruth journeys into her own psychic trauma. When Ruth’s brother John helps his fourteen-year old son apply for a firearm’s permit—almost two and a half decades after Port Arthur—they risk condemning those who do not remember the past to repeat it. A Port Arthur survivor, Marina, and her brother Moon, head for a confrontation with duck shooters on the wetland. In these lives choreographed by trauma, damage and the ramifications of wilful forgetfulness, transformation can only occur after an extremely painful lesson.
