Frogsong

When loyalty becomes a burden, how do you learn to let go? Frogsong is a tender and delicate tale of love and addiction from one of Australia's brightest literary talents and winner of the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for her debut book Caro and Danny grew up side by side at the waterhole. Bound by love, loss and a promise Caro made to Danny's mother, their lives are entwined. But as Danny spirals into addiction and self-destruction, Caro is caught between loyalty and the need to save herself. She becomes haunted by memories, by the stories she told herself of the life they'd have, and by the waterhole that shaped them both. From southern Tasmania to Lisbon's winding streets, she searches for escape from lost dreams, until a return home forces her to confront what it means to let go. Frogsong is a lyrical and devastating story of love, addiction and the ghosts that shadow us.
