Following the sudden end of her marriage, Annabelle Beck returns from Melbourne to the sanctuary of her old family home in North Queensland. There, on an archaeological survey, she discovers that the aboriginal field officer, Bo Rennie, knows her from her childhood. Initially intrigued by his old-fashioned manners, she finds herself increasingly captivated by his modest assurance that he holds the key to her future. Eventually she sets out with him on a path of discovery that leads back to her childhood and to the uncovering of family secrets that have lain buried for a generation or more, secrets that will challenge their future together and force them to question whether their love can survive the terrible knowledge they have come to possess.

Review:

No paraphrase can do justice to this novel' - Carolyn See, Washington Post 'Ambitious and convincing... explores the psyche of a woman torn between family and career with subtlety and grace' - William Ferguson, New York Times Book Review 'I think we will see few finer or richer novels this year... a singular achievement' - Andrew Reimer, Australian Book Review 'Interesting and thoughtful... Miller has a considerable talent for the evocation of a vivid range of atmospheres and emotions' - Jane Shilling, The Times 'A mesmerising story of dreams and obsessions... thought-provoking and eloquent' - Grania McFadden, Belfast Telegraph

Book Description Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Sceptre, London, 2002. First edition. Book condition: near fine and unread. Dust jacket condition: near fine with just the slightest shelf wear to the head and tail of the spine and to the top edges. With the consummate artistry of a novelist at the height of his powers, Alex Miller convinces us that the stone country is not only a remote and exotic location in North Queensland, but is also an unvisited place within each of us. This is an absorbing, disquieting story of our time and confirms Miller's reputation as one of Australia's most engaging and thought-provoking writers. Book. Seller Inventory # 1302509
