About Luka

'Would she have done the same for me?' In the days after the bomb blast that kills Luka's mum and sister, Luka's family begins to fall apart. His dad retreats to his bedroom, his brother slips into vigilante mode, and his uncle tries to rescue them all, when all they want is to be left alone. Luka, who has always been a peacemaker, tries desperately to hold what's left of his family together, but he finds he's teetering on the edge, struggling with grief and a battle to keep his own demons of guilt and rage under control. Luka is a story about men and boys, how they cope with grief and anger when the emotional glue of women is no longer there to support them. It's a story of pulling the pieces back together when it seems there are no pieces left to find. Ultimately, it's about acceptance, forgiveness, and the realisation that life isn't always about getting the answers you think you need.
