Shortlisted Miles Franklin Literary Award 2003
Keneally at his powerful best, with the gripping tale of a priest and a serial killer in World War II Australia.
Sydney, 1942, and in a nation threatened by a Japanese invasion, with husbands absent and sleek GIs present, a spirit of recklessness takes hold. Frank Darragh, an impressionable young priest, finds the line between saving others' souls and losing his own begins to blur as he becomes entangled with an attractive married woman, a ménage a trois, and a charismatic American sergeant.
'The gripping work of an author at the height of his powers.'
The Times
'[Its] great strengths lie in its evocation of Australia at a particularly turbid period of its history, and in its characterisation of ordinary people faced with extraordinary dilemmas.'
The Daily Telegraph
'Meticulous, exact and beautifully written ... Keneally has the ability to evoke an entire character, even an entire philosophy, in one sentence.'
