Too Much Lip

by Melissa Lucashenko
Too Much Lip
Too Much Lip

Dark humor meets raw, emotional family saga.

If you've ever felt like the odd one out in your family, "Too Much Lip" might speak to you. With Lucashenko's gritty and comedic narrative, you'll find kinship with Kerry Salter's rebellious spirit. As Kerry confronts her family's past and her own personal demons, you may find yourself rooting for her redemption, amidst the chaos and dark humor that makes this book so compelling. It's a tale that's both uniquely Australian and universally human.

Description

A dark and funny new novel from the multi-award-winning author of Mullumbimby. Wise-cracking Kerry Salter is part of an Aboriginal family living on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. She has spent a lifetime avoiding two things - her hometown and prison. But now her Pop is dying and she's an inch away from the lockup, so she heads south on a stolen Harley. Kerry plans to spend 24 hours, tops, over the border. She quickly discovers, though, that Bundjalung country has a funny way of grabbing on to people. Old family wounds open as the Salters fight to stop the development of their beloved river. And the unexpected arrival on the scene of a good-looking dugai fella intent on loving her up only adds more trouble - but then trouble is Kerry's middle name. Gritty and darkly hilarious, Too Much Lip offers redemption and forgiveness where none seemed possible.
