About this listen
Barging into this world as itinerant fruit-pickers come a desperate brother and sister from Sydney. The hard-bitten Sheena has kidnapped her wild, ebullient eighteen-year-old brother Kieran and dragged him out west, away from trouble in the city. Kieran and Zoe are drawn to each other the instant they meet, sparking excitement, worry, lust, trouble . . .
How do we protect people we love? How do we bear watching them go out into the perilous world with no guarantee of safety or happiness? What bargains do people make with darkness in order to survive? From the creator of Offspring and author of Useful, The Whole Bright Year is a gripping, wry and tender novel about how holding on too tightly can cost us what we love.©2018 Debra Oswald (P)2018 Penguin Random House Australia

Pulsating story, great characters
What a jewel of a story - emotionally poignant, great plot, drama and characters. Oswald has a knack for Aussie vernacular of the 70’s, and showing us every characters perspective. A wild ride.

Lovely story
I really enjoyed this book, different to what I was expecting which is always nice! The narrator could have used a few more voices, that always makes the book more interesting! But I still enjoyed it!
