Evie Wyld’s award-winning debut – which has been compared to novels by Tim Winton and Peter Carey – is about the inescapable past, the wars fought by fathers and sons, and what goes unsaid.
After The Fire, A Still Small Voice opens with Frank moving into an isolated cottage, surrounded by sand dunes and sugar cane. Depressed after a relationship breakdown, he must work out how to rebuild his life.
Forty years earlier, Leon's carefree life changes forever after he is conscripted as a machine-gunner in the Vietnam War. He then returns home as shell-shocked as his war veteran father.
As Frank and Leon’s stories are told, we learn what binds the men together – and what may be keeping them apart.
