Past the Shallows

Favel Paroni's haunting debut follows three brothers navigating the treacherous waters off Tasmania's coast—and the even more dangerous currents of family trauma. Set against the wild beauty of Bruny Island, this spare, lyrical novel captures isolation, resilience, and the fierce bonds that hold us together when everything else falls apart. Perfect for readers who love Richard Flanagan's raw emotional landscapes and stories that linger long after the final page.
