Dystopia down under. It is 2028, Northern Rivers, NSW. Amidst a backdrop of drought, pandemic and resource scarcity, an automated robo-guard patrol system tears through the region and rounds up members of the community. Three friends - Gale, Lis and Sara - persevere through separate hardships as their stories of family violence, stolen generation, and gender dysphoria emerge. With Gale in a cell in a quarantine facility, Lis with two children holed up at the edge of town and Sara stuck out on a rural property in isolation while her medications run out, the love the three have for each other shines through. Will they be able to reunite and what will be the cost?
With the pulse of a thriller, The Meeting Place is a dystopian place-based novel about ordinary people confronted by extreme circumstances.
