About this listen
‘A boisterous romp that spotlights serious social issues’ DAILY MAIL
'A Down Under Demon Copperhead… it's more than feel-good, it's feel-everything. What a triumph' A. J. FINN
Bighearted, gritty, magical and moving, this is the irresistible new novel from the internationally bestselling author of BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE and ALL OUR SHIMMERING SKIES.
'Mirror, mirror, on the grass, what's my future? What's my past?'
A girl and her mother have been on the run for sixteen years, from police and the monster they left in their kitchen with a knife in his throat.
The girl has no name, but she has a dream – for a life of love, as an artist, outside the grip of the Brisbane underworld and its drug queen 'Lady' Flora Box.
There's only one person who can help make her dreams come true: Lola. To find her, the girl with no name must do one of the hardest things we can. She must look in the mirror.
Bighearted, gritty, magical and moving, LOLA IN THE MIRROR is the irresistible new novel from the international bestselling author of BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE and ALL OUR SHIMMERING SKIES.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

'Unpredictable, fantastic… It takes a charged narrative, like Dickens achieves, and as Dalton does too, to reach the heart and the brain – writing that is able to carry both stories, the individual and the political/personal… To tell you more would spoil this complicated and surprising story.' Sydney Morning Herald
'Trent Dalton's third novel reminds me of the 1980s advertising slogan for the author's home state of Queensland: Beautiful one day, perfect the next… Lola in the Mirror is a bold, big-hearted, hopeful, humorous, dark, reflective, truthful...novel that confirms Dalton's place in all the shimmering skies (to borrow the title of his second novel) of Australian literature. He is not a rising star but a star full stop.' The Australian

Romanticised homelessness
It scratches the surface of homelessness, but overall it’s a fairytale. Likeable but unrealistic main character and a romantic but unrealistic happy ending
