Resumen del Editor

John Clare was a titan in Australian politics. The head of a powerful union and a key player in the election of Kevin Rudd as prime minister in 2007, he had long been tipped as a future leader himself. Supporting him in his push for power were his elegant wife, Grace, his troubled children, Sophie and Toby, and Tessa, the mistress he thought would stay secret.

But now John has fallen, brutally, to his death. A terrible accident - or was it?

In the wake of losing John, his inner circle mourn and rage, remembering and trying to forget the many ways he'd loved and disappointed them. An adoring and unreliable father, a grateful and selfish husband, a besotted and absent lover, an authoritative and compassionate leader, a failed politician in an era when party politics failed a nation. As those around him reassess everything they knew of and felt for John, a new idea of what love and power really mean begins to emerge - as does the true cause of his death.

Gripping, propulsive and ambitious, A Great Hope untangles the mystery of John's fall through the eyes of those who knew him best - or thought they did. Deftly displaying the clash of the political and the personal, this is a novel for our times, from a brilliant and forceful new Australian writer.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Just pages into this book, I felt the electric jolt that accompanies the discovery of a serious new talent. A Great Hope is a genuine literary page-turner that satisfies until the last paragraph." (Annabel Crabb)

"A Great Hope is written written in an addictive prose that keeps the reader firmly in its grip." (Books+Publishing)

Put This Author in your Little Black Book

Witty, clever, funny, intelligent and sad. The mystery is not classic but what a journey this book is from start to finish. Loved the smart mouthing Sophie. You could base a series on this character. The narrator did a top job and is perfectly suited to capturing the full range of emotions in this book.
