Australian author and screenwriter Craig Silvey's second novel Jasper Jones, released in 2009 sold more than 600,000 copies and was adapted for screen and stage.
11 years on he's just released a new book Honeybee. Described as a "heart-breaking, life-affirming coming-of-age novel" it's set in contemporary Western Australia and at its heart is a life-changing chance encounter between two characters on a quiet overpass one night.
