Is A Tag On A Fence Worth The Rest Of Your Life?
Twenty Seven Seventy, 2770, the postcode of one of Sydney's most working class of suburbs, Mt Druitt. Nominated for the 2012 Miles-Franklin Award, this edgy story of choice and consequences gives the reader pause to consider their own decisions and how they can lead to life changing moments.
Young Jayden St Clair, running from his mother's latest boyfriend and a life without love. Tafon Ta'alofa, just turned 18 and still not ready to accept responsibility for his actions. Old Valerie Mildano, too scared to leave her home, Mandy Scott the single mum and dedicated A&E nurse, April Fernandez the 16 year old daughter of an Asian Tiger mother. Billy Cooper, one time builder's labourer, a lifetime later the magistrate hearing the case that changed everyone's life forever. All because one night Sendip Gujrata, a migrant who made the decision to stand up to Tafon and his gang, said NO! to their tagging his neighbour's fence. Who would have thought two days later all of them and several others would be drawn together to one point in time and space, lives forever changed, some beyond all help or recognition of what once was.
A gritty, all too real and very readable novel about social issues that challenge many Australians today...
