The Ockham judges praised 'Sprigs' as “an unflinching novel which forces us to reckon with uncomfortable truths about power and privilege in Aotearoa”. The book comes with trigger warnings, but also nuanced storytelling and some comic relief.
Speaking at the 2021 Marlborough Book Festival, Brannavan discusses the book and the issues around masculinity it puts in the spotlight with Tessa Nicholson.
