A Loving, Faithful Animal
About this book
A haunting debut novel exploring family secrets and the long shadow of war in rural Australia.
It's New Year's Eve, 1990. Ru's father, Jack, a Vietnam War veteran, has vanished, leaving his family reeling. Ru navigates the complexities of her fractured home, torn between her rebellious sister Lani, her mother Evelyn's retreat into the past, and the enigmatic presence of her uncle Les.
A Loving, Faithful Animal delves into the heart of a family grappling with trauma, loyalty, and the search for redemption. Set against the backdrop of small-town Australia, this novel offers a tender yet brutal portrait of resilience and the enduring power of love. For readers seeking atmospheric literary fiction with complex characters and emotionally resonant themes.
