Critics Review

This book made me feel things. Like wanting to be driving the length of New Zealand, even in the rain, and the urge to roll a cigarette, and shock and regret and peace in the quiet moments of beauty. A big evocative road novel and messy family drama that sucks you in and holds you. - Kate Mildenhall, author of The Mother Fault

a very very impressive first work of fiction - ABC Radio National, The Bookshelf

it’s a cracker - NZ Herald

A wry, tense and moving examination of an inescapable reckoning with home and family. - Sydney Morning Herald

About The Author

Sam Coley

Sam Coley’s two favourite things in the world are taking photos and dancing. Most nights, however, he can be found at his desk with a pen and a legal pad and a bottle of wine. He has called New Zealand, Australia and the UK all home at some point, and probably still would. His debut novel, State Highway One, was the winner of the 2017 Richell Prize for Emerging Writers.
