The Believer: Encounters with Love, Death & Faith by Sarah Krasnostein

A group of friends moves into a share house in Sydney’s Redfern. They’re all facing big life changes, insecure employment, complex relationships, love and loss. Most of all, they’re looking for connection.

The English-language debut from an acclaimed Polish writer. Fog sees quirky female detective Ada Rochniewicz taking on sexism, the refugee crisis, corrupt government and religious establishments in contemporary Warsaw – a must for fans of The Killing and The Bridge.
