GOLDEN BOYS
Sonya Hartnett's new novel for adults is an unflinching and utterly compelling work from one Australia's finest writers.
With their father, there's always a catch . . .
Colt Jenson and his younger brother Bastian have moved to a new, working-class suburb. The Jensons are different. Their father, Rex, showers them with gifts – toys, bikes, all that glitters most – and makes them the envy of the neighbourhood.
To Freya Kiley and the other local kids, the Jensons are a family from a magazine, and Rex a hero – successful, attentive, attractive, always there to lend a hand. But to Colt he's an impossible figure in a different way: unbearable, suffocating. Has Colt got Rex wrong, or has he seen something in his father that will destroy their fragile new lives?
Sonya Hartnett's work has been published around the world. She is the internationally acclaimed author of several novels read by young adults and adults alike, including Thursday's Child, Of a Boy and Butterfly, and has won numerous awards. She lives in Melbourne.
