The Tulip Tree

'A breathtaking family saga, set in the darkest of times, about the struggle to love and the courage to go on.' * Tim Costello AO * 'A moving story of how one family survives a horrendous period in history, and of the secrets they carry with them into the future.' * Joan London, author of The Golden Age * 'Gripping and at times heart-wrenching...will keep you turning the pages.' * Big Book Club * 'A remarkable ability to discover within the most concrete details a rich and raw emotion...a novel that is at once familiar and entirely fresh.' * Weekend Australian on The Lost Child * 'A haunting tale of family life, identity and coming-of-age from an author who writes with a vivid sense of time and place.' * Launceston Examiner on The Lost Child * 'A beautifully written novel about betrayal and forgiveness (especially of ourselves), about suffering and survival, about the baggage we take with us, and what we leave behind.' * Cynthia Banham, author of A Certain Light * 'Fresh with the cadences of everyday life and history, The Tulip Tree is a tender and moving exploration of one family's fault lines and its enduring connections across time.' * Dominic Smith, author of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos * 'A tale of love, loss, and resilience. Told with compassion and wisdom, The Tulip Tree reminds us how, even after the most crushing defeat, hope can survive and renewal is possible.' * Eva Stachniak, author of The Chosen Maiden *
