John Clare was a titan in Australian politics. The head of a powerful
union and a key player in the election of Kevin Rudd as prime minister
in 2007, he had long been tipped as a future leader himself. Supporting
him in his push for power were his elegant wife Grace, his troubled
children Sophie and Toby, and Tessa, the mistress he thought would stay
secret.
But now John has fallen, brutally, to his death. A terrible accident - or was it?
In
the wake of losing John, his inner circle mourn and rage, remembering
and trying to forget the many ways he'd loved and disappointed them. An
adoring and unreliable father; a grateful and selfish husband; a
besotted and absent lover; an authoritative and compassionate leader; a
failed politician in an era when party politics failed a nation. As
those around him reassess everything they knew of and felt for John, a
new idea of what love and power really mean begins to emerge - as does
the true cause of his death.
Gripping, propulsive and ambitious, AGreat Hope untangles
the mystery of John's fall through the eyes of those who knew him best -
or thought they did. Deftly displaying the clash of the political and
the personal, this is a novel for our times, from a brilliant and
forceful new Australian writer.
