Among crumbling ruins of the once splendid Xanadu,the pitiful Miss Hare stumbles across a half-caste Aboriginal and a Jewish refugee. All three, damaged and discarded as they are, seek the care of a local washerwoman.
Through the crumbling ruins of the once splendid Xanadu, Miss Hare wanders, half-mad. In the wilderness she stumbles upon an Aboriginal artist and a Jewish refugee. They place themselves in the care of a local washerwoman. In a world of pervasive evil, all four have been independently damaged and discarded. Now in one shared vision they find themselves bound together, understanding the possibility of redemption.
'The outstanding figure in Australian fiction.'
New York Times
'This is a book which really defies review; for its analysable qualities are overwhelmed by those imponderables which make a work "great" in the untouchable sense.'
Guardian
