BURN

by Melanie Seward

Be prepared to clear your weekend with this one. This book is a real page-turner. A coming-of-age story about an Indigenous boy growing up within impossible circumstances who turns to fire to ease his worries. When a bushfire kills someone, Andrew is forced to reckon with a path that almost seems laid out for him. A complex and powerful, absorbing read that explores the effects of intergenerational trauma. ​
