Trifecta

A family's legacy, a nation's identity, and the odds of overcoming the past.
Trifecta delves into the lives of Sandy, Veronica, and Mick Klepka, the children of Martin, a charismatic modernist architect who brought 'real coffee' to New Zealand. Years after Martin's death, each sibling grapples with his overbearing legacy: Sandy, a disgraced cultural historian; Veronica, struggling with her business and a troubled marriage; and Mick, a gambling addict living in their father's masterpiece, the Red House.

Set against the backdrop of New Zealand's cultural landscape, this literary novel explores themes of addiction, mental health, and the search for meaning. As the siblings confront their past, they must navigate complex relationships and find their own paths forward. Will they break free from their father's shadow, or will they be forever bound by his choices? Perfect for readers seeking character-driven stories with emotional depth and a touch of dark humor.
