KOOKABURRA - Bronnie ware

---

Kookaburra is a powerful story of friendship, fracture, and the long road back to understanding. Set against the stark beauty of a drought-stricken Australian village, it follows Jetta, Felicity, and Uli—three inseparable friends bound by shared hardship and the quiet refuge of a nearby creek. Their bond, forged in youth, is abruptly broken at eighteen when a devastating rift drives them apart.

Felicity is left carrying anger she cannot release. Jetta vanishes under the weight of what she cannot confess. Uli, disillusioned and heartbroken, turns to his own path. As the years unfold, their lives diverge across continents—from Australia to England, Germany, and Greece—each shaped by loss, longing, and the choices they make in the aftermath of their separation.

Through shifting perspectives, Kookaburra traces their individual journeys as they grapple with family ties, identity, and love. Each must confront the past they tried to outrun, and the enduring imprint of a friendship that once defined them.

Rich in emotional depth and sense of place, this is a novel about the resilience of the human spirit and the fragile, enduring threads that connect us. At its heart, Kookaburra asks whether time and distance can truly sever what was once unbreakable—or whether some bonds, like echoes across a dry creek bed, are destined to return.

It will also remind you of the dream inside: to write your book and see it venture out into the world. It’s a much better vision than living with the regret of not having tried.
