Final-year university students Jonah and Ellen face life-threatening together - and discover love. As their love for each other deepens, they embrace intimacy and creativity, courage and honesty, joy and pride.

This novel - John Graham-Pole's third in his trilogy inspired by young people with cancer - evokes compassion, know-how, humour, and hope. It is a compelling reminder: That along the songlines of the cancer journey, when the patient is held at the centrepoint of care, when both professional and personal caregivers work in partnership with profound skill and compassion, a beautiful story can unfold. Songlines is that story.
