Synopsis

Noah Cork has just published a white-hot true-crime book — the story of a cold-blooded killer who once slipped an unsolved murder into Noah's own mailbox — and it should be the triumph of his career. So why is his whole life quietly coming apart? As a savage storm barrels toward Brisbane, Noah is swept into a swirling squall of secrets, forced to reckon with the stories he chased and the ones he has spent years refusing to tell.

Moving between ambition and marriage, truth-telling and truth-omitting, self-deception and self-preservation, Trent Dalton's novel asks how the stories we lock away come to define us. It is at once a mystery, a portrait of a marriage, and a meditation on the cost of a life built on other people's tragedies.

Described by Dalton as the most personal book he has written, Gravity Let Me Go is a tender, propulsive, big-hearted novel from the bestselling author of Boy Swallows Universe.
