Advance Praise

"The Subjects is a novel with an agenda, enticing us to engage with what is wrong but also to imagine something better...[T]imely, thought-provoking and inspirational.’ —The Saturday Paper

"This is a layered novel, ambitious in scope, its characters vividly drawn and resisting the cliches of delinquency. Its own narrative offers a masterclass, deftly pacing its reveals and alive to the questions they raise. And it does so with a stubborn optimism at its heart."—The Age

"It's memorable cast of characters, rendered with such energy and compassion...seem to hum with life." — The Big Issue
