‘A beautifully told road trip story about facing the past and unlocking the future. The perfect holiday read.’ Sara Foster

Two road trips. Twenty years apart. Can the memories of a troubled family past finally be put to rest?

When Tara Button’s mother asks her to drive the bright yellow family caravan from one end of the state to the other, it’s her charming but unreliable brother, Zac, who convinces her it’s a good idea. Besides, the road trip might keep Zac out of trouble – and that’s always been a second job for Tara.

Tara doesn’t expect Zac’s enigmatic friend Danh to come along for the ride. Or the bikies that seem to be following them up the coast …

As they travel along the open road, memories of the Buttons’ last trip in the caravan engulf Tara, while a rediscovered love for the wild, glorious ocean chips away at her reserve. When forced to face her past, will she find the courage to let go and discover her dreams?

‘Sasha Wasley writes loving but troubled families like no one else. Her characters are painfully, beautifully real and it’s impossible not to love them and want them to triumph, even when they’re making very bad choices. A Caravan like a Canary is heart-rending, wise and absolutely bursting with love and tenderness.’ Emily Maguire
