Description
“A remarkable first novel by an Australian… leaves one with a lasting memory of white men and black working together in a strange wild country.” Time Literary Supplement. Stan Rolt, rebel member of a pioneering family, has plans for himself that differ widely from those of his cunning domineering grandfather. The old man wins, with the powerful aid of the harsh, uncomfortable, exploited land itself and of the aborigines. Sensitive and intelligent, Stan becomes sincerely in love with an Aboriginal girl, and though the episode is tragic, it soars for awhile to levels of delight.
