LAUNCH: Shining Like the Sun
About
Wakefield Press is pleased to invite you to the launch of Shining Like the Sun by Stephen Orr, to be launched by Peter Goers, radio host, art critic and author of In the Air of an Afternoon Almost Past.Wilf Healy lives in the wheatbelt town of Selwyn, works in Monk's Irish pub, delivers letters, drives the school bus, holds the place together. But he's had enough, wants to retire - to forget his nephew Connor, at war with the world, his brother Brian, visiting from America, his niece Orla, sick with blood cancer. Although he plans, and tries, he can't leave. Something is holding him back.
As the young people flee, the old people die, the drugs arrive in Selwyn, Wilf has to decide what's important. Shining Like the Sun is about the value of promises, of words and actions that might save a failing community. In the process, Wilf learns there's no such thing as retirement.
