'A rich, funny, compassionate exploration of care and carelessness — this is a wonderful book — like its heroine, astute as hell and full of heart.'  Emily Perkins

Kara lives in Victory Park council flats with her young son, just making a living by minding other people's kids... Life is threadbare and unpromising until the mysterious Bridget moves in to the Park, bringing with her glamour and wild dreams and an unexpected friendship. Drawn in, Kara forgets for a moment who she's there to protect.

Victory Park is '...a heady combination [of] beauty and pace... a novel that feels important.' Catherine Woulfe, The Spinoff (Read the full review).
