Billy's Tree is a powerful novel that deals with the impossibility of escaping your past and the need to confront longstanding injustices.
Not long after Johnnie Butler arrives in Redfern with his mother, he disappears. When found, he is profoundly disturbed. He has lost the power of speech. What has caused Johnnie to descend into silence?
This novel traverses the twentieth century, interweaving the experiences of immigrants, Aboriginal stolen children and former World War II prisoners of war. It is about the importance of friendship and community and the need to exorcise ghosts. It is a deeply moving and unforgettable story, rooted in a specific place, with themes that are universal.
