Publisher: Fremantle, W.A.: Fremantle Press, 2018
Annotation:
Spinifex and Sunflowers relates the story of Nick Harris, an unlikable debt-ridden drifter who finds employment as a prison guard at a refugee detention centre in Western Australian desert. As time passes, the detainees open up to Nick and tell him the stories of the lives and loved ones they left behind how they came to Australia's shores.
Described by Books + Publishing magazine as "well written, confronting, passionate and often graphic," this gritty, haunting and, at times, disturbing novel, lends readers an inside view on life inside Australia's immigrant detention centres.
