Bestselling author Nicole Alexander, known for her captivating portrayals of historical rural Australian life, will discuss her twelfth novel, The Limestone Road, a stirring narrative about one young soldier’s courageous journey ‘home’.
In the summer of 1944, returning soldiers Canning Christie and his father Michael arrive in South Australia from North Africa. Canning, haunted by the trauma of war and the fractured memory of a terrible event, struggles to find his place in the world. Meanwhile, his charismatic father Michael resumes his womanising ways, intent on concealing his own secret wound.
The Limestone Road is a poignant exploration of memory, trauma, and the quest for redemption. It is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring power of dreams. Alexander combines historical detail with emotional depth, creating a novel that lingers long after reading.
