“Between the familiar and the magical comes a novel of romantic vision ... Rarely is historical fiction this fraught and alive.” – The Sydney Morning Herald What connects an impulsive Scottish industrialist in 1916 Edinburgh and a frustrated lawyer dropping into the pub for a bottle of wine in 1993 Melbourne? From multi-award-winning author Jock Serong comes Cherrywood, an imaginative, darkly playful and deeply meaningful delight; a novel about legacy, community, wonder, love and reinvention. Join Jock Serong in conversation with Amy Sambrooke. About Jock Serong Jock Serong is the author of seven novels.
