When Ria’s estranged relative dies, she returns from New Zealand to the Australian town she left decades earlier as a teenager. She finds herself caught between two families that have never met—her husband and son in Aotearoa, and the relatives whose world she once fled. With the author’s own voice bringing every layer of Ria’s journey to life, the audiobook of Checkerboard Hill offers a deeply personal and unforgettable listening experience.
