Australia, 1958: for generations, the MacBrides have lived on a
remote sheep station, Meredith Downs. A million arid acres, it s an
ocean of land, where the weather is a capricious god, and time
still roams untamed.One ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the
unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a
kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are
shattered.Then, instead of leaving wounds to heal, Fate comes for
them yet again, in a twist of consequences that will cause one of
them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the
sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged
into a moral and emotional journey for which there is no map, no
guide, as he is forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice
and happiness.A tale of family and belonging, of compassion and
hope, A Far-flung Life is about people trying to do their best,
each, for private reasons, seeking shelter from the storm of life.
Exploring the lives of a handful of isolated souls and the secrets
they shield in order to survive, this epic novel standsas a
testament to the enduring power of love.*****Praise for The Light
