Publisher Description
Sydney, May 2021. Ashraf is an academic whose career and personal life are in freefall. Hannah is a young journalist struggling to honour the voices of her community. When a Year 12 student from a local Islamic college is arrested for protesting a university's ties to an Israeli weapons manufacturer, Ashraf sees an opportunity to exploit his personal connection to the situation for professional redemption. Meanwhile Hannah, who is juggling the demands of new motherhood and family trauma, fights racism in the newsroom. As Israel's bombardment of Gaza intensifies into the final weeks of Ramadan, Ashraf and Hannah must reckon with their choices, values and places in their communities. Will they be prepared to make sacrifices in the pursuit of what is right? With a focus on two of today's most contested fields, academia and the media, Discipline tallies the price we all pay when those with privilege choose to remain silent.

Speechless
I usually read sci-fi/speculative fiction but I’d downloaded this sample on a whim and … it’s surprisingly rare for me to cuss when I suddenly reach the end of the sample and want to keep reading! This is, fundamentally, a story about people … people striving like you and I do, to live life amidst the many complexities of this world. It doesn’t broad brush - it beautifully & occasionally heartbreakingly renders these characters in all their 4D glory & infamy. Must read!
