A river town - Thomas Keneally
KORTE INHOUD
In turn-of-the-century Australia, Tim Shea supports his young family by running a general store in a remote riverside town - where he finds the same hypocrisy and snobbery which made him emigrate from Ireland, and suffers a series of misfortunes which take him to the brink of disaster. Capturing the spirit of the times and place, this is the mesmerising tale of a flawed hero whose stubborn integrity is nearly his undoing.
'A masterpiece' (Literary Review
Keneally makes us feel, very movingly, the intelligence and imaginative openess that lie deeper than Tim's prejudices and inartilculacies... a novel (of) great vitality and charm'
(The Sunday Times)
'A remarkably vivid and moving portrayal of a hostile world where good struggles to shine through' (Time Out)
