Description
On the last day of summer holidays in 1986, Christopher Hearsey's world is turned upside down as his best friend Arthur disappears. As he searches for answers, Chris must confront his own fears and the dark underbelly of their border city.
A story of lost innocence and the search for meaning, Talk of the Town is a vivid portrayal of young lives caught in the chaos of adolescence. With its quick-witted humour and raw emotion, this debut novel is a powerful exploration of how we construct our own stories from the whispers and gossip that surround us.
With its mercurial language and surprising humour, Talk of the Town is a compelling read for anyone interested in coming-of-age stories or poetry. Jacob Polley's writing is both tender and unsentimental, capturing the rhythms of young life with vivid prose.
