LUCKY'S

Andrew Pippos

Lucky's is a story of family.

It is also about a man called Lucky.
His restaurant chain.
A fire that changed everything.
A New Yorker article which might save a career.
The mystery of a missing father.
An impostor who got the girl.
An unthinkable tragedy.
A roll of the dice.
And a story of love, lost, sought and won again, (at last).

Lucky's is Andrew Pippos's debut novel. A former journalist, Andrew has a doctorate in Creative Writing and tutors at the University of Technology, Sydney.

Comments

"bittersweet and beautifully written"

"...a must-read saga, and a gripping monument to Greek diaspora" Read more...

"Lucky's is layered and romantic in every sense of the word, spanning generations and telling a moving story of an immigrant family trying to find a footing in post-war, multicultural Australia."

"Reminiscent of works such as Meg Wolitzer's The Interestings that interrogate the pursuit of specialness, Lucky's is concerned with the stories we tell ourselves and the chasm between fact and fiction, the space where happiness may lie."
