With an introduction by J.M. Coetzee

'The novel at the heart of all her work' Helen Daniel, The Age

Vera is young, awkward and naive. As a schoolgirl, she has her sheltered idealism, her Quaker boarding-school education, and the warm, enveloping sense of security of her parents. As a student nurse during the war, her transition into womanhood is rapid, painful and disastrous. And as an unmarried mother she flees from the nagging tension of her home and the hospital gossip to Fairfields, a place of poetry, music and of people with interesting lives and ideas. Quickly she learns it is otherwise. Yet, for Vera, there is always the moon - her companion, comforter, and the unbreakable link with her father...

Full of alarming perceptions, black irony and tenderness, My Father's Moon is the first book in Jolley's semi-autobiographical trilogy that also includes Cabin Fever and The George's Wife.

Winner of The Age's Book of the Year Award

Industry Reviews

"A turbo-charged techno-thriller.... Sawyer offers an escape from the recent run of near-future dystopias in a combination of classic and contemporary science fiction." - Publishers Weekly "One surprise after another.... Triggers is constantly gripping on the surface and seriously provocative deep down." - The Wall Street Journal

"The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Calculating God and the WWW Trilogy delivers a tense, race-against-the-clock adventure with a surprise ending. It should appeal to mainstream thriller readers as well as its target market." - Library Journal

"Triggers has the hard-core military/political insights of Robert A. Heinlein, and the compassion of Theodore Sturgeon." - Jonathan Vos Post
