After the Great Storm

Forty-year-old Alice Kaczmarek has lost so much. She wants a baby, but her husband, Daniel, is serving a life sentence, accused of orchestrating an accident on Sydney’s new transport system. When T, the subject of medical experimentation, crawls up the front steps of her house, Alice learns of a strange connection between T and Daniel.

In this psychological novel of threat and intrigue, it seems everyone is involved in a scam, even a respected surgeon colleague. After she is followed, and her home invaded, Alice no longer knows who to rely on and must navigate this corrupt, murky world alone. In the process, she draws ever closer to Daniel’s friend, Lowell.

After the Great Storm is a novel imbued with both darkness and light, sadness and joy; its characters refuse to give up on love regardless of the cost. Ultimately it asks an urgent question for our times: When corruption becomes endemic, how can we save our own moral code?
