Description - The Last Thread by Michael Sala

Michaelis is four when they first move to Australia, leaving behind the cold and the snow and the mud, the flat grey landscape, his father, his mother's family, and everything he has ever known.

He is seven when they pack up again and go home, nine when they return to Australia. When you are used to it, leaving is the easiest thing in the world-and where the sea is warm and the days linger, it is easier to forget.

But his stepfather is a bully, and the absence of his real father masks a painful truth. Before long, Michaelis learns that no matter how far you go, your past always follows you, trailing questions in its wake.

Beginning with memory's first fragments, The Last Thread traces a boy's journey into adulthood against a backdrop of family secrets, betrayals and unhealed wounds.
