Author Event: Jessica Mansour-Nahra at Devonport Library

The year is 2030 and devastating bushfires have plunged Australia into lockdown. When stay-at-home orders lift, Carmen reluctantly agrees to join her best friend Eleni and Eleni’s boyfriend on an unplugged week away. But the trip isn’t what Carmen expects. Stuck in isolated cabins in dense national parkland, secrets spill out, new ideals are challenged and bitter arguments erupt. On the final morning, new fires race towards them, forcing the group to find another way out. But how, when the friends no longer trust each other with their lives?

Copies of the book will be available for purchase from the Devonport Bookshop at the event - chat to Jessica as she signs them for you.
