Description
Making Shadows spans from the fall of Singapore in World War 2 to the Welcome Home Parade for Vietnam veterans in 1987. It is a story about contrasting elements - life and death, light and shadow, war and peace - which are ultimately revealed to be interconnected.
The novel follows Joe, a National Service conscript, as he navigates his time in Vietnam and its aftermath. His experiences are intertwined with those of his fellow soldiers, who struggle with the consequences of their service, including PTSD, addiction, and personal turmoil. The story also delves into the lives of two women: Dot, Joe's adopted First Nations sister, and her grandmother Winn, whose secrets have a profound impact on both families.
Through its exploration of these interconnected stories, Making Shadows sheds light on the complexities of human experience, revealing that what appears to be opposites are often, in fact, part of a larger whole.
