Ever since Max was a little boy too many things didn't quite add up about his life. On his quest for answers, he's confronted with three life-changing revelations. This is his journey.

"The Green Elevator Cage", a whole-of-life novel, spans five continents and over 50 years-1962 to 2019. Max's journey takes him to boarding school in Belgium, expatriate life in Saudi Arabia, a diamond mine and love in Tanzania, and happiness in Australia. At its core is the relationship between Max, his mother and his sister Claudia: people who love each other but don't know each other well, having spent their lives largely apart. The book explores Max and Claudia's search for answers about what happened when they were small children in the then Belgian Congo.
