Traitor
Winner of the Prime Minister's Literary Award for Fiction and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, Best First Book, 2011.
A friendship forged across the battlelines of Gallipoli leads a young soldier to question all he knows about loyalty, and about faith. It will lead him to court martial and brutal punishment; it will sustain him through the horrors of the Western Front. And it will see him home again, a different man from the one who went to war.
—'One of the finest debut novels I have read. Indeed it's one of the best novels I have read in recent years...It's about so much more than war: love, friendship, loyalty, honour, mercy, spirituality, multiculturalism, class.' Australian
Coming Rain
—Winner of the 2016 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards, Acorn Foundation Literary Award
Western Australia, the wheatbelt. Lew McLeod has been travelling and working with Painter Hayes since he was a boy. Shearing, charcoal burning, whatever comes. Painter made him his first pair of shoes. It's a hard and uncertain life but it's the only one he knows. But Lew's a grown man now. And with this latest job, shearing for John Drysdale and his daughter Clara, everything will change. Stephen Daisley writes in lucid, rippling prose of how things work, and why; of the profound satisfaction in hard work done with care, of love and friendship and the damage that both contain.
—'Coming Rain is a universal story of love and aspiration, betrayal and disappointment. The prose is masterful, simple and moving. The characters are utterly believable and complex in their ordinariness. It was a book that all three judges came across joyfully and read with the ease of those who know they're in the hands of a confident writer.' Jill Rawnsley, convenor of the 2016 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards Fiction category
