"Hauntingly beautiful ... A complex, introspective novel with vivid characters."
School Library Journal

"A finely poised, deeply engaging book."
The Telegraph

An original and gifted novel from the internationally acclaimed author of Surrender and Of a Boy.

In a dying country town lives Satchel O'Rye, a young man fighting the future; Chelsea Piper, a young woman fighting the past; and a long-lost creature that can teach them both the art of survival. Stripes of the Sidestep Wolf is a shimmering, ultimately joyful novel, a story of journeying towards courage and freedom, of finding the will to live a life beyond expectation.

"The possible sighting of a thylacine, an extinct wolf-like dog, provides the backdrop for this story of 23-year-old Satchel O'Rye, the son of a mentally ill father and a long-suffering mother. The family lives in a hardscrabble town in Australia. Satchel struggles to cope while the family sinks deeper into debt. The search for the extinct animal offers a way out of this stultifying life. Suzi Dougherty's Australian accent is appropriate to the setting, and her matter-of-fact reading is well suited for the bleakness of Satchel's life. Though her portrayals of different characters are not as varied or distinct as those of some readers, her sympathetic tone is pleasant and easy to listen to."
