Under the wing of Jack Mindy (Sam Neill), Martin lodges at the home of Lucy (Frances O'Connor), who is grief -
stricken after the disappearance of her husband, Jarrah and struggling to care for her two children, Sass and Bike.
Not only is The Last Child told from multiple perspectives, but the voices truly challenged me: a thirteen - year - old boy traumatized
after the
disappearance of his twin sister yet still innocent enough to believe in magic, the boy's grief -
stricken, drug - addicted mother, a three - hundred - pound escaped convict with the mind of an innocent and the voice of God in his head... I had to stretch for these.
