Moving, shocking and wonderful in equal measures, Into That Forest is a must-read for anyone who loved The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas or Life of Pi. We were lost, and the only thing that could help us were the tigers. The more I looked at its black eyes, the more I seen kindness, and I knew it were saying to us, Come, I’ll take you home. This is the story of two girls lost in the Tasmanian bush, saved and raised by two Tasmanian tigers. Unforgettable, original and vivid in its composition, Louis Nowra is one of Australia’s foremost literary talents.
