This Mortal Boy by Fiona Kidman

In a novel that scooped numerous awards, Kidman delivers rich characterisation from the points of view of many associated with the case. She takes readers beyond the courtroom, broader and deeper, giving us a textured look at a life that was more than a symbol, or entry in a history book. Throughout various times and perspectives, everything flows beautifully, building in tension and texture. A harrowing and haunting tale full of humanity that questions where justice lies. An important read from a master storyteller.
