Seller's Description:
Good. Ex-library book, usual markings. Revised edition. Hardback with white and red dust cover. Clean text, sound binding. Quick dispatch from UK seller.
This is a simply remarkable book which well deserved its winning of the Miles Franklin Award. The story of a Christian who has lost his faith but finds a new one with the help of an Aboriginal guide is inspiring and inspired. I was sad when I reached the last page.
