Sixty Seconds

This story Sixty Seconds by Jesse Blackadder is quite confronting.  A family moves from Hobart to northern New South Wales.  Then a tragic event occurs to the family's small child and the other family members have to find a way to deal with the aftermath.  The story is narrated in three voices:  the brother (in the first person); the mother (in the second person) and the father (in the third person).  The story is well-written but harrowing at times.  I don't think I would have read it if I knew what it was about. 4/5
