About this listen

Jimmy understands all about belonging and not belonging. He sees himself as part of both sides of the moon – kind of black man and kind of white. Part of a fractured family, it's only when he learns about his forebear – a brave warrior who became an outcast from his tribe – that he begins to understand the darker implications of his heritage.

'A masterpiece ... powerful, authentic, moving, brilliantly written ... a profound and passionate novel ... a memorable experience.' (on What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?) (The Sydney Morning Herald)
'The new book is just as dynamic, just as in-your-face as the first one, but less violent, more layered, more fundamentally thoughtful and challenging.' (on What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?) (The New Zealand Listener)
'Universal truths to be savoured for their poetic insight.' (on What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?) (The Australian)
