About the Author
THOMAS KENEALLY won the Booker Prize in 1982 with SCHINDLER's ARK, later made into the Academy Award-winning film SCHINDLER's LIST by Steven Spielberg. He has written ten works of non-fiction, including his recent memoir SEARCHING FOR SCHINDLER, and the histories THE COMMONWEALTH OF THIEVES, THE GREAT SHAME and AMERICAN SCOUNDREL, and 27 works of fiction, including THE WIDOW AND HER HERO (shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award), AN ANGEL IN AUSTRALIA and BETTANY'S BOOK. His novels THE CHANT OF JIMMY BLACKSMITH, GOSSIP FROM THE FOREST, and CONFEDERATES were all shortlisted for the Booker Prize, while BRING LARKS AND HEROES and THREE CHEERS FOR THE PARACLETE won the Miles Franklin Award.
From AudioFile
This latest novel from Tom Keneally--best known for the book upon which Schindler's List was based--returns to his favorite theme: heroism in war. The title refers to Grace and Leo, an Australian couple who marry in the midst of WWII. Leo is a commando charged with making daring raids on Japanese ships, a mission from which he ultimately does not return. Actress Beverly Dunn is note perfect as Grace, who relates the story decades later in a series of remembrances during which Leo's fate is slowly revealed for the listener. Snippets of Leo's own words are woven through in the voice of David Tredinnick, and the technique effectively ties together the narratives of these wartime lovers.
