Text summary from the 2020 VCAA Text List

Christine Piper is a distinguished, prize-winning writer and her first novel, After Darkness, won the 2014 Vogel Literary Award. She also won the 2014 Calibre Essay Prize and was the 2013 Alice Hayes writing fellow at Ragdale in the United States. After Darkness is written in the first person. Ibaraki Tomokazu, a Japanese doctor who is interned in Australia in 1942, tells the story of his life in Japan and Australia. The novel opens in South Australia in 1942. Ibaraki then reveals his story by exploring his life in Tokyo and in Broome before the war.

The text deals with a number of timeless ideas, including friendship, identity, trauma, loss and change. Possibly the most significant is the issue of personal conscience – the conflict every individual faces when confronted with the differences between what they really believe is right and what is held to be right by tradition or society.
