'This third novel from acclaimed Queensland author Sally Piper focuses on the repercussions, within one family, of a terrible crime.
'Even though sixteen years have passed, Billie will never recover from the murder of her daughter, Jess, and clings to her memory – and the site of her death – like a life raft. Daniel, who was a toddler when his mother was killed, can recall little of what happened back then but knows if he’s to have any chance of a better future then he needs to move on from that defining event, if only his grandmother would let him. Meanwhile Daniel’s stepmother, Carla, also feels trapped by Jess’s legacy but has a plan that she believes will help everyone to escape from the long shadow of that terrible event.
'Deeply human, evocative and beautifully written, Bone Memories explores themes of human connection and the memorialisation of place.'
