Winner of the 2014 Best Young Australian Novelists Award In 1971, a teenage girl briefly disappears from her house in the middle of the night, only to return a different person, causing fissures that threaten to fracture her Punjabi Sikh family.

Inheritance examines each family member’s struggles to either preserve or reject tradition in the face of an ever-changing nation. An astounding novel of family life and how people manage to find the truth about themselves.
