Penguin has announced the release of Bryce Courtney’s newest- and final- book, Jack of Diamonds.

Bryce shares his thoughts here:

A very touching message from one of Australia’s most respected literary authors.

Though I’ve only read one of his books (Matthew Flinders’ Cat) my father is a big fan of Bryce Courtney and has a lovely hardcover collection of his books.

Whenever I found myself stuck for gift ideas be it Father’s Day, Christmas or birthdays, if there was a new Bryce Courtney book out I knew just what to get my dad!

Sadly, this Christmas will be the last time as Jack of Diamonds is his last book.
