| Brennen Siding, a hamlet on a tributary of the famous Miramichi River, is home to an unforgettable crew â teenagers Shadrack Nash and Dryfly Ramsey and their families, friends, and neighbours. Hilda Porter, Shad's elderly employer, treasures the story of Trucanini, the last Tasmanian, while the invasion of TV, Elvis, and rich American salmon fishermen influences everything, including Shad and Dry's escapades. Are they, like Hilda and Trucanini, the last of their kind? The Last Tasmanian is the second volume in the humorous yet poignant Brennen Siding Trilogy. |
