Lyttleton Siren
28 Jan 2025Christmas 1981, locked in a winter freeze, Lyttleton is rocked by a fatal hit-and-run.
In the aftermath and the weeks and months that follow, with the Falklands War looming then taking its toll, the lives of the driver, bereaved mother and teenage witness unravel to reveal dark family secrets and a community in trauma.
Told in three distinct voices, Lyttleton Siren is a tragic story of guilt, grief, and coming-of-age.
