Description
The Southern Aurora train runs twice daily from Melbourne to Sydney and back again, stopping in Mittigunda exactly halfway. For Jimmy, growing up on the poorest street in town is about holding things together. His mum's struggles with drink, his older brother's absence from jail, and his own desire for success all weigh heavily on him. As he navigates the challenges of small-town life, Jimmy faces a series of setbacks that test his resolve. But despite the difficulties, there are moments of hope and connection - with friends, family, and even strangers. Mark Brandi's evocative and authentic portrayal of rural Australia is both heartbreaking and riveting. With its nuanced exploration of small-town life and the struggles of growing up, Southern Aurora is a powerful and moving novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
