Description

A moving story of heroism, filled with vivid characterizations, suspense, and a keen sense of mystery--Kenneally's most compelling work since his Booker Prize-winning Schindler's List. A woman who loses her husband's love and attention to his mistress and his political dealings, and her children to a tragic fire, attempts to start anew in the Australian outback.

This is a story that moves between satire of Sydney's business and criminal classes in the late 1980s, family tragedy and a guilty woman's attempt to avoid descent into madness through exposing her sensibilities to the harsh landscape and limited emotional experiences of the outback. Alternately funny and tragic with touches of the absurd. A most engaging read.
