Description
Described as 'raw and powerful' by The Guardian, The Choke is a coming of age story about triumphing over violence and poverty through friendship, resilience and strength.
By turns lyrical and brutalIrish Times
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 dads coming home at Christmas, she feels a mixture of excitement and dread. He's a dangerous man, and his presence will close in on Justines 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.
Bothheart-rending coming-of-age story and poignant tribute to the power of nature, The Chokewill delight fans of Where the Crawdads Sing.
