Nicole Najim is struggling to find herself after a painful breakup just when she thought she was going to settle down. Working a dead-end job in the family car dealership, and at a loose end, she picks up a camera and returns to the melting pot of Sydney’s West – an area largely ignored by the rest of tribal Sydney – to rediscover her roots. When she catches up with childhood friend, Danny, who makes his living in a shadowy underworld, their relationship intensifies, just as the law starts to close in, forcing Nicole to choose her own dreams, even as those she loves are lost.<br /><br />Alex Sarkis writes with warmth, humour, and a spot-on eye for the characters and suburbs of the world she grew up in. This is a debut about loving home and leaving home, and never escaping your roots. Or your footy colours.<br />

Alex Sarkis was born and raised in Sydney’s West to Lebanese immigrant parents. In her early twenties she began writing stories of her own. Her main source of inspiration has always been the wild and wonderful landscape of her hometown, her family’s heritage, and the pride she feels in being an Australian. Something Blue is her debut novel.
