The award-winning author of Finnikin of the Rock and Jellicoe Road pens a raw, compelling novel about a family's hard-won healing on the other side of trauma.
(Age 14 and up)

Award-winning author Melina Marchetta reopens the story of the group of friends from her acclaimed novel Saving Francesca - but five years have passed, and now it's Thomas Mackee who needs saving. After his favorite uncle was blown to bits on his way to work in a foreign city, Tom watched his family implode. He quit school and turned his back on his music and everyone that mattered, including the girl he can't forget. Shooting for oblivion, he's hit rock bottom, forced to live with his single, pregnant aunt, work at the Union pub with his former friends, and reckon with his grieving, alcoholic father. Tom's in no shape to mend what's broken. But what if no one else is either? An unflinching look at family, forgiveness, and the fierce inner workings of love and friendship, The Piper's Son redefines what it means to go home again.

Quick Word: Melina Marchetta writes novels that punch you in the gut, leave your heart aching and you mind opened wide. Recommended. ( )

Let’s face it – I'm not going to finish this weird book. I’m totally confused: I pretty much loved [a:Marchetta's|47104|Melina Marchetta|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1277655889p2/47104.jpg] earlier novel “[b:Saving Francesca|82434|Saving Francesca|Melina Marchetta|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327865374l/82434._SY75_.jpg|18042740]”. It was one of the best books I’ve read 2019 so far.

Thus, I expected to love “The Piper’s Son” as well but I never got into this book. Somehow, the entire book with its plethora of characters and jumps in time falls flat for me.

What I’m taking away for myself is this: Just as in music there are one-hit wonders in literature as well. To me, it seems like Marchetta is one of those – she wrote one amazing book in which she told the one great story she had to share with all of us and for that I’m grateful.
