| Description |
A classic of modern Australian literature. An elegy to change and the rites of passage, it spans six years in the life of Rob Corum, a small boy growing up in the sleepy town of Geraldton during the turbulent years of the Second World War. Randolph Stow balances a poignant evocation of country childhood with the dark legacy of war.Stow achieves this balance through the boy's innocent worship of his older cousin Rick Maplestead, who is haunted by his experiences as a prisoner of war. |
