Ride On Stranger: Kylie Tennant

Shannon Hicks, unwanted as a child, tries to find where she belongs. Set during the Marxist movement of the 1930s, Tennant evocatively and convincingly paints Sydney as a city on the brink of revolution. Shannon seems destined to be alone and independent yet she is the one on whom everyone depends. The ever-changing landscape Shannon finds herself in breeds discontent and restlessness.
