Description
Shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, Blood is a coming-of-age story set on the back roads of Australia.
From multi-award-winning author Tony Birch comes a masterful novel about the indelible bond between two siblings.
Jesse has sworn to protect his sister, Rachel, no matter what. It's a promise that cannot be broken. A promise made in blood. But, when it comes down to life or death, how can he find the courage to keep it?
Set on the back roads of Australia, Blood is a boy's odyssey through a broken-down adult world.
