ANNIKA JOHANSSON – Downstream

Natural disasters like fire and flood have long lasting effects on small communities. Those who have lived through bushfires and floodwaters will understand what the characters in this novel are experiencing.

Annika writes so evocatively of the heartbreak of losing your treasured home in one of  the worst floods in Australian history in the Northern NSW town of Lismore. But after being forced to find a new home, an unlikely friendship develops between two mismatched couples.
