A haunting journey through family secrets, racial identity, and the search for belonging in Australia.
Stephen Bolin's deathbed wish is ignored, setting his corpse on a supernatural journey back to his birthplace in Far North Queensland. What compels him, and what awaits him there?
As a jiangshi, Stephen revisits his family's turbulent past: his Chinese great-grandfather's life on the goldfields, his Scottish grandparents' migration, and his own coming-of-age. This original and satirical novel explores four generations reckoning with identity. Will Stephen find peace, or will his family's secrets consume him?
- Perfect for readers of Australian literary fiction and family sagas
- Explores themes of race, sexuality, and cultural heritage
- Winner of the Queensland Literary Awards Glendower Award
