THE EVERLASTING SUNDAY

Robert Lukins

The haunting, exquisite debut of a gifted writer, set during the Big Freeze of 1963.
England, 1962. Seventeen-year-old Radford arrives at Goodwin Manor, a home for boys who have 'been found by trouble'. Watched over by the enigmatic Teddy, life at the Manor offers a fragile peace at best, as the coldest winter in three centuries sets in.
Radford learns that the boys are to care for each other, since their families and the law have been unable to do so. But will this be enough when tragedy strikes?

At once both beautiful and brutal, The Everlasting Sunday is an unforgettable debut novel about growing up, growing wild and the shifting nature of friendship.

Robert Lukins lives in Melbourne and has worked as an art researcher and journalist. His writing has been published widely, including in The Big Issue, Rolling Stone, Crikey, Broadsheet and Overland. The Everlasting Sunday is his first novel.
