His most recent novels are The Daughters Of Mars, which was shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize in 2013, Shame And The Captives and Napoleon's Last Island. He has also written several works of non-fiction, including his memoir Homebush Boy, Searching For Schindler and Australians. He is married with two daughters and lives in Sydney.
