Publisher's Summary
A shipload of migrant workers flees the pandemic-stricken UK, seeking a fresh start in Australia. For nine-year-old Cleary the journey promises adventure, for former nurse Billie it’s a chance to put a shameful mistake behind her, while struggling schoolteacher Tom hopes for a brighter future. But when a crew member is murdered and people start falling gravely ill, the Steadfast descends into chaos. Trapped on the ship, the trio must join forces to survive the journey and its aftermath.
The Trespassers is a beguiling novel that explores the consequences of greed, the experiences of migration and exile and the way strangers can become the ones we hold dear.

a little wanting
the ending really was a little wanting. I didn't see the point to the story at all... not sure if I liked it or not.

Well developed characters
The Topic had incite given it was written prior to current COVID disaster. The 3 voices worked extremely well. And the murder mystery through the eyes of an eleven year old deaf child was an additional layer of real or imaginary. A likeable yet complex novel with many themes touched upon. Conspiracy theorists will like the ending but I found it devastating.

disappointing
I was waiting for something to happen in this book but it just didn't get there. Also not a bug fan of mixed voice narration.

Couldn’t put it down
Fantastic book! Well narrated. Well written. Gripping. Highly recommended. As an Australian it really helped me empathise with our refugees who are being held on Manus Island. Also super impressive that the author predicted Coronavirus.
