149. The Opportunity of Lies (Audiobook) (coming-of-age, 1980s retro)

Read by the author. A coming-of-age novel in 1980s rural Australia. In the remote town of Dimbat, 17 year old Jack Harris has it all: a beautiful girlfriend, a good job, and a supportive network. And to top it off, he's just been given a uniquely privileged opportunity to take over a lucrative business from a kindly old man.
But lies, dishonesty, cynicism and miserable advice, mean he could lose it all. On a road trip, he is plagued with doubts and fears. But one thing is certain: if you throw away the lottery ticket that life gives you, there's always someone else who will pick it up and use it. By Paul Joel Martin, read by the author.
