Description
A coming of age story set against a backdrop of domestic violence and criminality among South Australia's working class, The Gulf should be a grim work. It is a measure of Anna Spargo-Ryan's alchemical imagination that The Gulf is also a tender, funny, joyous novel.
Spargo-Ryan, Adelaide-born, has revisited the world of her childhood and teens in these pages. She writes of a shy and bookish girl on the cusp of adolescence who is galvanised by the need to protect her brother, a thoughtful, clever, quasi-autistic boy, from the growing menace of the man who has entered into a relationship with their mother. Wrenched from their home and sent to live in a struggling town in South Australia's Gulf region, Skye is forced into a maturity beyond her years - and into decisions that will reshape both children's lives.
