Review
"There have been few great novels of WWII in the Pacific, and this is one of them."―Publishers Weekly
‘The beauty of John Hepworth’s The Long Green Shore is its utter simplicity, no flashes, no frills, no artsy attempts at innovation but, rather, the steady hand of a frighteningly skilled writer...certainly one of the great Australian war novels...Australians fighting the Japanese in New Guinea at the end of World War II constituted only a tiny corner of the worldwide cataclysm. Yet the characters in John Hepworth’s novel take on symbolic magnitude of the entire destruction.’―Charles Larson, Counterpunch
