'Brilliantly captures the innocence of childhood and the
devastating consequences when that innocence is shattered' Claire
Fuller 'I was haunted by the voice and landscape of The Choke and
have been recommending it all summer' Sarah Moss Justine Lee was
born breech, entering the world on her knees. She reads words the
wrong way round. But she sees things more clearly than the adults
around her think. Raised by her Pop since her parents left, Justine
helps feed the chooks and makes dens down by the narrow stretch of
the Murray River they call the Choke, dodging the violent games of
her half-brothers. When Justine hears her dad's coming home at
Christmas, she feels a mixture of excitement and dread. He's a
dangerous man, and his presence will close in on Justine's young
life, like the riverbanks at the Choke. She must find a way to flow
onwards, breaking the cycle of violence and poverty through
friendship, resilience and her own strength. Both heart-rending
coming-of-age story and poignant tribute to the power of nature,
The Choke will delight fans of Where the Crawdads Sing.
