A family and their community must learn how to recover from the devastating effects of a recent bushfire. A story of loss, grief and trauma, Ache is also one of hope for the future.
A year ago, a devastating bushfire ripped Annie’s world apart – killing her grandmother, traumatising her young daughter and leaving her mother’s home on the mountain half destroyed. Annie fled back to the city, but the mountain continues to haunt her. Now, drawn by a call for help from her uncle, she’s going back to the place she loves most in the world, to try to heal herself, her marriage, her daughter and her mother.
A heart-wrenching, tender and lovely novel about loss, grief and regeneration, from one of Australia’s most talented writers, Ache is not only a story of how we can be broken, but how we can put ourselves back together.
Eliza Henry-Jones’ remarkable debut novel, In the Quiet, was shortlisted for the 2015 Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction and the NSW Premier’s Award, and longlisted for the ABIA and Indie Awards.
'[Ache' is beautiful and gently flowing, written with a maturity hard to believe of such a young author.'
Readings
'... moving without being sentimental; Henry-Jones has trained as a grief and trauma counsellor, and her characters ring impressively true in their actions and reactions.'
