About the Book

‘Russell does a great job with the character of Deli. She is at once an individual voice and presence in the book, with her battle against booze, her search for love and meaning, and her compassion … there are worse things to do than curling up with Deli for a few hours.’ — The Weekend Australian

A young woman, a decaying house and two brothers — a dark tale of family life, addiction and redemption. Jacob’s Air is a haunting, refreshingly honest exploration of the complexities of families and relationships, written with sympathy, perception, and humour.
