Something Blue
About This Book
Twenty-six-year-old Nicole Najim has just been left by a partner she believed she would spend her life with. Stuck in a going-nowhere role at the car yard her family runs, she takes up photography and heads back to the multicultural western suburbs of Sydney where she grew up, hoping to reconnect with where she comes from. There she runs into Danny, a childhood friend who earns his living on the edges of the criminal underworld. As the two grow closer, their bond deepens just as the police begin closing in. Nicole has to weigh what she feels for him against her deepest fears, while pursuing her own creative ambitions and turning her camera on the stories hidden in the lives around her. Alex Sarkis writes with warmth and humour, drawing on her own upbringing to bring the characters and suburbs of her youth vividly to life. The novel explores the pull of home, the need to leave it, and how deeply roots hold on, even through loyalty to a football team.
