An engrossing and provocative exploration of privilege, hypocrisy and justice by the bestselling author of The Cane.

Leah has a good life. She lives on The Drove, an inner-city cul-de-sac, with her husband Moses and their two children. She and her neighbours - the drovers - look out for each other. Theirs is a safe, community-oriented enclave and that's the way it's going to stay.

When itinerants set up camp in 'their' park, some of the drovers are unsettled, some are outraged, and all of them want the campers to move on. Not even Sholto, the campers' charismatic leader, can put their fears to rest.

Why is Sholto - handsome, charming and apparently with other options - living in a tent, and why has he chosen to pitch it beside The Drove? And why is Leah tempted to put her family and her comfortable life at risk when Sholto turns his wolf-like gaze towards her?

A compelling and revealing novel, The Campers shows what neighbours will do when threats of the unknown and unmanageable come too close for comfort.
