Sarah Krasnostein’s The Trauma Cleaner is an astonishing book. It has been shortlisted for a dozen awards, winning five – including the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award – and has garnered scores of rave reviews. 

A book that defies easy categorisation,The Trauma Cleaner is a remarkable story that makes for perfect book club reading. It contains elements of true crime – as subject Sandra Pankhurst cleans up the aftermath of traumatic events such as murders and suicides – but it’s also the story of Sandra and her unique journey.
