It is great to see Peter Temple’s fantastic novel Truth has been longlisted for this year’s Miles Franklin.

Truth is a novel about a man, a family, a city. It is about violence, murder, love, corruption, honour and deceit.

And it is about truth.

‘Sparse, violent and humming with tension, Truth is about one man’s search for honour in a world where it’s in short supply. Temple is a master.’ Michael Robotham

The shortlist is announced next month.
The winner will be announced 22 June 2010.
