Exiles

Product Information

I think much of the charm of the novel lies in the characters and their very ordinariness. They are mostly, Falk excluded, a group of friends who grew up together and have stayed close. None are perfect but they are all decent people and the way their lives intertwine and the secrets they keep, from each other and the outside world, are engrossing. Old friends gathered, new people were introduced, and people waved to each other across the crowds. Happy times. Aaron Falk is asked to come to the South Australian wine country for his godson's baptism. The last time he was in this area, a mother disappears at a festival and leaves her daughter alone in a baby carriage.

THE AUTHOR: Jane worked as a print journalist for thirteen years both in Australia and the UK, and now lives in Melbourne.Jane Harper scrive thriller particolari, che si distinguono: c’è poca violenza e poco sangue, pochi morti; c’è un fatto, o più, del passato che stende ali di colpa e inquietudine sul presente; c’è un presente che va sistemato riconciliandosi col passato, risolvendo cosa e come è davvero successo tempo prima. If you're a fan of Jane's The Dry and The Lost Man, you won't be surprised to hear this is another must-read, one that you'll reluctantly leave to do life things like eating and tidying * Belfast Telegraph *

An outstanding novel, a brilliant mystery and a heart-pounding read from the author of The Dry, Force of Nature, The Lost Man and The Survivors. Dean's wife Gemma and his son Joel still hope the driver will be found, but this seems less and less likely as time passes. Jane Harper knows how to write an undulating, riddling tale to keep you on your toes. Exiles is no different.' Russh I was eagerly loving forward to reading the third book featuring Aaron Falk, and it did not disappoint. I did not find it as impactful as ‘The Dry’ was though.
