The Fragments

Toni Jordan’s The Fragments is a treat for booklovers. A literary thriller, The Fragments draws us into the life of reader and bookseller Caddie in the dying days of the Bjelke-Petersen era, and Pennsylvanian farm-girl Rachel, who runs away to New York in the 1930s to reinvent herself. Linked by the Harper Lee-esque Inga Karlson and her lost second novel, this witty page-turner is a hugely satisfying book about books and those that love them.
