| Father and son James and Jonno embark on a lifetime trip to the mountainous villages of the Peruvian Andes. While guided by different motivations, they are united by the spirit of adventure.

"Within moments of opening this book one is drawn to the ‘rocky gummed teeth’ of the alienesque landscape and the conflict at the core of the novel. In this way, the title of the book captures its subject well because the narrative is about hope, upbringing, family and nature. Indeed, a dual narrative of coming of age and accepting age is central to the story, with the discovery of self and especially masculinity being a key theme that parallels the strenuous journey undertaken by the characters. We can feel the butterflies. This adventure is rich in detail, from airport announcements to the taste of fried chicken, rippling out to include the perspectives of passers-by in a way that strengthens the story. Through it all, the two main characters complement each other well, each being relatable in their own way. Ultimately, The Rising of the Son is a book that questions what it means to be successful in life, leaving one questioning what one’s core values are." -- Elle
