Publisher: Pan Macmillan, 2018
Annotation:
This hopeful and engaging character driven novel focuses on the lives of five strangers living in the suburbs of north Melbourne -- a woman in mourning, a man stuck on the corporate treadmill, a failed journalist, an idealistic lawyer and an asylum-seeker caught in bureaucratic limbo and unable to move forward with her life.
Reviewer Amanda Mcleod says author Claire Varley's past experience working with migrants and refugee communities lends this book "an authentic voice and genuine gravitas", adding: “The Book Of Ordinary People perfectly captures modern-day multicultural Australia.” (Writing NSW)
