Winner Asher Literary Award 2017

Weaving a striking personal narrative with a revelatory exploration of the effects of war, Enemy is a bold, compelling and ultimately triumphant memoir from a hugely impressive Australian writer.

How do you stop the trauma of your past from derailing your future? Award-winning author, Ruth Clare, learnt from a young age how to be a warrior. She protected her mum, stood up to her dad and defied authority in the face of injustice. But when the same fierceness that helped her survive the unpredictability and violence of her childhood threatened to hurt her relationship with her children, she knew she needed to find a way move beyond the anger that had once been her only protection. By learning more about her father’s experience in the Vietnam War, and the unrecognised price families of veterans can pay for their parent’s military service, Ruth gains a deeper understanding of the often-generational nature of family trauma that softens the pain of her past. Told with captivating urgency and breathtaking honesty, Enemy is a profoundly insightful true story of rising above the worst of circumstances and using the transformative power of compassion to heal.

'Extraordinary memoir.'
Booktopia

'Ruth Clare brings history into the home with piercing intelligence, unflinching honesty and total, terrifying recall. By drawing a direct line from the violence of war to the brutality of domesticity, Enemy refuses to excuse the tormentor yet tries to understand the legacy of torment. I wanted this book to stop and I couldn't put this book down.'
Clare Wright, author of the Stella Prize-winning The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka
