Two years after his daughter's death, Sean flees his broken marriage and Sydney for a fresh start in the small coal town of Henderson, where he starts a new job as a library manager.
But he struggles to adapt, feeling alienated and on a collision course with his new community and his own unresolved grief, battling anger, and loneliness.
Ultimately, Henderson is a book about our search for connection. It's a raw exploration of male grief and of male friendship and about finding hope in unlikely places.
Henderson is 78,000 words long.
Readers of A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman may recognise in Sean another grieving, male protagonist who has become isolated after a profound loss, with a new, unfamiliar community forcing him to confront his pain. About a Boy by Nick Hornby has a similar focus on a disconnected male protagonist, while also sharing the blend of dark subject matter with moments of wry humor.

Person
I'm a husband, father and librarian living in inner-city Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. On weekends I'm off the coast in an outrigger, riding the swell with other middle-aged crazies. Most mornings I'm up before sunrise, with my laptop, dogs at my feet, writing in the clarity and stillness of the breaking day. I was recently shortlisted then won the local prize of the Newcastle Short Story competition.
