Book Title: The Temperature
Author: Katerina Gibson
A tweet. A storm. A secret. A revelation. In an age of isolation, what could bring six strangers together?
Katerina Gibson’s The Temperature is a gripping contemporary novel exploring the fragile connections between six lives, each on the brink of change. Fi, a social media manager, faces professional disaster over a viral tweet. Lexi, a lifelong environmental activist, struggles to hold her organisation—and purpose—together. Sidney hides in a café bookstore, avoiding unfinished dreams and a stranger who won’t stop showing up. Govita, an artist squatting in their studio, takes ketamine instead of facing creative failure—and accidentally adopts a dog. Tomas, a single dad haunted by the past, searches for meaning amidst his quiet life. And Henry, a reclusive Vietnam veteran, writes letters dripping with anger to the one he holds responsible for his misery.
As their individual storms collide, The Temperature becomes a profound exploration of connection, resilience, and the unexpected ways lives intertwine.
Perfect for readers who love character-driven novels by Liane Moriarty or Anne Tyler, this moving story pairs beautifully with the contemplative tones of Nick Cave’s Ghosteen.
Dive into The Temperature, a compelling story about isolation, resilience, and the bonds that bring us together. Order now for same-day dispatch if in stock, and enjoy free shipping on orders over $100.

Fi is about to get fired over a viral tweet.
Lexi Bostick is losing her grip on the environmental organisation she’s devoted decades of her life to. Sidney is avoiding everyone—including the persistent stranger who keeps coming into the café bookstore where she’s been hiding since she dropped out of her PhD. Govita is living in their studio space illegally and taking ketamine instead of working on their art. Somehow, they’ve also managed to adopt a dog. Thirty-something single dad Tomas watches too many movies alone at night—visited by memories of the housemate who once made the place feel like a home.
And then there’s Henry, a Vietnam veteran aging out in rural isolation, writing hateful letters to the person he blames for ruining his life …
