About the book...
This is a story about marriage. It is also a story about life and love and happiness and the absence of happiness and what we need to do to find it again.
It's a story about hope, baking, making music, lemon trees, painting, love, divorce, dogs, the families we create for ourselves, and the heat of the Brisbane sun.
It's a story about August and Noah.
It begins at the end.
Rise and Shine is an utterly surprising delight, a break-up tale that is also a love story; endearing, astringent, talky, wry, wise, uplifting and so original.
