Faith, Family and Fraying Ties description
Two powerful voices from Western Sydney. Michael Mohammed Ahmad’s first novel, The Lebs, was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award and kicked off a trilogy that concludes with The Other Half of You, a moving love letter written to the narrator’s young son. Omar Sakr’s acclaimed poetry is urgent, fierce and remarkable and won the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Poetry. His debut novel is Son of Sin, a searing examination of what binds families together and what can tear them apart.
