The subject of A Line of Sight – accidental shooting – is back in the news again, with two fatal hunting accidents in May. There’s been a political response – Associate Conservation Minister Peter Dunne has said that he would “begin the process of initiating a review of unsafe and illegal gun use in the outdoors”. I find myself in discussions about the novel around accidental shootings. Not so much how to prevent them, but more what the personal consequences are. This novel, sadly, remains very topical.
