BLACKSWANSONG

Some legends fade. Others refuse to die. Spanning from the early days of the Swan River settlement to a near-future Perth, BLACKSWANSONG is the sweeping tale of Western Australia' s most elusive and enigmatic bushranger. Told through the voices of outlaws and lovers, soldiers and rockstars, this novel unearths a long-buried past, one chapter at a time – each set to the rhythm of a classic Western Australian folk song. Blood-soaked feuds, modern-day secrets and the echoes of a legend long-forgotten come together in a bold Western-style reimagining – set against the backdrop of Australia' s wild frontier. For those who want to hear the legend as well as read it, original recordings bring the story to life in sound. For fans of Peter Carey' s True History of the Kelly Gang and anyone drawn to stories that blur the lines between truth and legend, BLACKSWANSONG is a journey into the past that still haunts us today.
