AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Unless you’re Henry James you need a particular confidence to create an adult work with a child narrator. Sofie Laguna is something of a specialist in this area. The Eye of the Sheep, winner of the 2015 Miles Franklin Literary Award, was narrated by an unusual little boy called Jimmy finding his way through a precarious life. The Choke features a young narrator called Justine finding her way past an inheritance of brutality and loss.' (Introduction)
