Annotation:
Questions of Travel tells the stories of Laura Fraser, an alienated Sydneysider who escapes to Europe and forges a new identity as an expat travel write after a beloved aunt dies, leaving her a modest inheritance. She returns home, aimless and unmoored. Meanwhile Ravi Mendes, a Sri Lankan refugee has fled to Australia after the brutal murder of his wife and child in the country's civil war. Their stories are told in alternating chapters and, inevitably, their paths cross and their stories entwine.
Questions of Travel both the 2013 Australian Literature Society Gold Medal and the 2013 Australian Prime Minister's Literary Award for fiction. Writing in Booklist, Hazel Rochman says of the book: "This ironic, contemporary view of finding home makes for heartfelt drama."
