His Illegal Self

Peter Carey's Man Booker Prize-winning brilliance shines in this gripping tale of a young boy caught between radical politics and identity. Set against the backdrop of 1960s counterculture, it's a thrilling journey from New York to the Australian wilderness, where nothing is quite as it seems. Carey weaves together themes of displacement, belonging, and the lies we tell to protect those we love. Perfect for readers who appreciate literary fiction with heart, grit, and that distinctive Australian edge.
