Brisbane by Matthew Ryan

19 Mar 2026 to 11 Apr 2026

Australia. 1942. Fourteen-year-old Danny Fisher is coming of age when his hometown of Brisbane is invaded by the American Armed Forces under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. While events in the Pacific threaten to tear Danny’s family apart, he meets an American pilot, and hatches a dangerous plan. Australian soldiers, dance halls, riots and grief all make an appearance in this authentic Australian story. ‘Brisbane’ is a celebration of a childhood and a city – and a requiem for all that was lost.
