Synopsis

Me and Ev is a historical novel set between 1860s London and 1870s colonial Australia. It follows sixteen-year-old Tom Ballard, a tough, observant boy from South London who stows away on a merchant ship—only to discover another stowaway hiding in the dark: Everard Fort, quiet, refined, and far from ordinary. Together, they survive hunger, evasion, and a brutal murder on board. But once they reach Australia, their paths begin to diverge in ways Tom could never have predicted.
Years later, Tom—now a struggling journalist with a child on the way—watches as Everard, now revealed as Everard Beaufort, son of a British lord, rises to fame as a political figure in the new federation. As the country builds itself from the bones of empire, Tom begins to write the story of the boy he knew—and the secret they never spoke of again.
Told in Tom’s plainspoken, perceptive voice, Me and Ev is a powerful meditation on friendship, class, memory, and identity—perfect for readers of Kate Grenville’s The Secret River, Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, and Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang.
