The Coast is a compelling novel based on meticulous research which evokes a near-forgotten aspect of Sydney’s history.
Experience readings from the Matron’s diary and fascinating guided site tours of the lazaret (leprosy colony) surrounded by the wild beauty of the sea cliffs and beach, and the Coast Hospital Cemetery which is home to as many as 2000 graves.
[The Coast] does that magic thing that all the best historical fiction does in brilliantly illuminating elements of now while still being wholly and convincingly a story of a very specific time and place.
