Book Description
In the late 1990s, Stefan’s life is unravelling. A brilliant glass technician, his business is failing and his Indigenous partner, Tania, has left him without explaining why. In the midst of this turmoil, Indigenous Australian sculptor Lennard Currie contacts Stefan and invites him to Fremantle. He plans to model a cenotaph on Jandamarra’s Rock in the Kimberleys—where he lost the love of his life, Rosalie. He needs Stefan’s skills with glass to aid him in the creation of his monument, intended to be a beacon of truth and reconciliation for the Aboriginal community. They face unexpected challenges, disheartening setbacks and threats of violence. But they must succeed, to give a voice to Australia’s First Nations people, their ancestors and future generations. The Glass Cenotaph is Book I in The Truth And Reconciliation Trilogy.
