Items related to The Danger Game
Synopsis
A vivid, absorbing debut novel examining both systemic injustices and a devastating childhood bond between two sisters Alice and Louise are sisters united by a distant tragedy—the house fire 14 years ago which their brother lit, and burned to death in. Alice teaches dirt-poor students at a state high school that the government wants to close, while pursuing a relationship with a married man. Louise, a habitual liar and recovering heroin addict, has been playing a game of dares with herself—"the danger game"—since she was a child, and now she can't stop. When they reunite in Melbourne to unravel the truth about their brother's death and seek out the mother who abandoned them as children, they are forced to face the danger of their family's past.
