The Old Lie
A thrilling and ambitious new novel from the author of the bestselling and prize-winning TERRA NULLIUS
'Set in an intergalactic war, this powerful story is told from multiple viewpoints and delivers an emotionally wrenching impact.' - Sally Morgan, author of the bestselling Australian classic My Place
Shane Daniels and Romany Zetz have been drawn into a war that is not their own. Lives will be destroyed, families will be torn apart. Trust will be broken.
When the war is over, some will return to a changed world. Will they discover that glory is a lie?
Claire G. Coleman's new novel takes us to a familiar world to ask what we have learned from the past. The Old Lie might not be quite what you expect.
Praise for Terra Nullius:
'surprising and unforgettable' - Publisher's Weekly
'moving and original' - Weekend Australian
'impossible to ignore' - Books and Publishing
'unflinching' - Sydney Review of Books
'timely' - Adelaide Review
