About this listen

 From the mountains to the valleys, from big cities to tiny towns, to the outback and our islands, Di Morrissey knows this country. She's been there. In The Road Back, Di weaves a tale of reconnection and starting over. Journalist Chris Baxter is at a crossroads. Returning with his teenage daughter to his mother's house in the beautiful township of Neverend, Chris hopes to pick up the pieces after his life takes an unexpected turn. Sometimes taking the road back is the start of a journey forward.©2014 Lady Byron Pty Ltd (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Africa

"Di Morrissey writes long juicy page turners; flowing sensational sagas." ( The Age)

If you could sum up The Road Back in three words, what would they be?

Superb detailed description

What other book might you compare The Road Back to, and why?

Any other Di Morrissey book, she is the master in taking the reader to the places her stories are set in.

What didn’t you like about David Tredinnick’s performance?

I understand why a male read the story this time as the main character is male but something in his voice was not pleasant to listen to and the way he made the many female characters sound was a bit offputting, even some of the male characters were just not right. It definitely made the experience less enjoyable for me. Please let a woman read your stories!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Don't be afraid of change.

Any additional comments?

Another great escape story as you are really transported to the beautiful surroundings of Neverend and learn to appreciate and love the characters and their descisions in life.

Typical Di book, disappointing reader

It is a heartwarming story about Chris and his family in rural Australia. It is a little slow moving, but I enjoy the flashbacks to life in Java in the 60s. It makes me want to travel back to Indonesia!

Also, I love David Tredinnick's narration. He has a pleasant voice and a great way of giving life to the story.

Touching story from rural Australia and Indones
