Synopsis
On the eve of the local rugby club (the 'Rabbitohs') being expelled from the national competition, Johnnie Butler arrives in Redfern with his mother. On the day that the Rabbitohs are kicked out of the league, Johnnie disappears. When found, he is profoundly disturbed and has lost the power of speech. What has caused Johnnie to descend into silence? This powerful novel traverses the twentieth century, interweaving the experiences of Greek and Lebanese immigrants, Aboriginal stolen children, World War II prisoners of war, and sporting fanatics whose lifelong devotion to their local footy club is essential to their identity. It is a deeply moving and unforgettable story.
