Title: Firehead
Publisher: Random House Australia
Date Published: 1999

Summary: And so begins this very Sicilian love story.
When Gabriella, together with her parents and ageing grandfather - a man who
carries the secrets of their Mediterranean island inside his slowly darkening
mind - moves in next door to 14-year-old Sam, he knows that his life will never
be the same again. Set in and around New Farm, and against the social and political
background of Brisbane between 1975 and 1995, Firehead is a story of love and
the generations, of police corruption and a city's changing terrain, and of
searching for one place in the world you can finally say is home.
