Favel Parrett
Three brothers, Joe, Miles and Harry, are growing up on the remote south coast of Tasmania. The brother' lives are shaped by their father's moods - like the ocean he fishes, his is wild and unpredictable. He is a bitter man, warped by a devastating secret.
Miles tries his best to watch out for Harry, the youngest, but he can't be there all the time. Often alone, Harry finds joy in the small treasure he discovers, in the shark eggs and cuttlefish bones. In a kelpie pup, a big mug of Milo, and a secret friendship with a mysterious neighbour. But sometimes small treasures, or a brother's love, are not enough.

So real, so true - this novel sweeps you away in its tide.
‘heart-wrenching stuff; keep a tissue stuffed up your sleeve’
an extraordinary debut. The directness and simplicity of Parrett’s writing belies an astonishing sensitivity to the secret lives of these boys and the brutal environment that has shaped them.
'Wintonesque'
a small gem of a story
If you read only one book this year make sure it's this one
Finely crafted literary novel...genuinely moving and full of heart'
My top could of books of all time thanks to the characters' voices, the beautiful writing and the achingly sad (yet hopeful) storyline.
Beautifully read by David Wenham.
a dreamy work of loss and childhood
