About this listen
'It's this emotional truth at the heart of Tenderfoot that sets it apart. This is a writer at the top of her game, telling a story that only she can tell' ABC Online, Best Books of 2025
'Tenderfoot is magnificent. Deeply moving. Beautiful. Powerful' TRENT DALTON
By the bestselling, award-winning author of Addition, an exhilarating novel about coming of age in 1970s Australia.
Wait for the boxes to open, wait for the race to begin. Wait, and your greyhound will cease to be the dog you know and become an entirely different kind of animal.
Brisbane, 1975: Andie Tanner's world is small but whole. Her mum is complicated, but she adores her dad and the kennel of racing greyhounds that live under their house. Andie is a serious girl with plans: finish school with her friends, then apprentice to her father until she can become a greyhound trainer, with dogs of her very own.
But real life rarely goes to plan, and the world is bigger and more complicated than Andie could imagine. When she loses everything she cares about - her family, her friends, the dogs - it's up to Andie to reclaim her future. She will need all her wits to survive this new reality of secrets and half-truths, addictions and crime.
With luminous, aching prose, Tenderfoot will move you like no other story this year.
