A Quote from Cameron Nunn
“I love the history of ordinary people. It’s their stories that make our nation. It is an honour to be able to be considered for the ARA Historical Novel Prize and to have their stories heard.”
About Echo in the Memory
What if memories never die? When fifteen-year-old Will is sent away to stay with his grandparents in rural New South Wales, he finds the isolated farm strangely familiar; except the memories he’s channelling are not his own. But whose are they? And why does his grandfather share the same haunting link? As two stories unfold, nearly 200 years apart, two boys exiled to what feels like the end of the earth struggle to find their identities and voices in the face of abandonment and tragedy. A page-turning YA novel that explores the darker moments of our convict past and how they resonate today.
