Soaring

by Ross Fitzgerald

Drawing on classic themes of betrayal, death and metamorphosis, this extraordinary novel moves between Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia, and Ireland, with its cast of flamboyant misfits playing out the eternal search for love and passion. Rodney (hang-glider and merchant of erotica); Rebekah (19 year old Alcoholic’s Anonymous member, father unknown) ; and Michael (maverick motorcycling priest) are the three voices which speak powerfully, nakedly to us in Soaring. Soaring is a winner of the Eros Foundation erotic Book of the Year Award.
