Krátky popis
By the Booker-winning author of Schindler's Ark, a vibrant novel
about Charles Dickens' son and his little-known adventures in the
Australian Outback. In 1868, Charles Dickens dispatches his
youngest child, sixteen-year-old Edward, to Australia. Posted to a
remote sheep station in New South Wales, Edward discovers that his
father's fame has reached even there, as has the gossip about his
father's scandalous liaison with an actress. Amid colonists,
ex-convicts, local tribespeople and a handful of eligible young
women, Edward strives to be his own man - and keep secret the fact
that he's read none of his father's novels. Conjuring up a life of
sheep-droving, horse-racing and cricket tournaments in a community
riven with tensions and prejudice, the story of Edward's adventures
also affords an intimate portrait of Dickens' himself. This
vivacious novel is classic Keneally: historical figures and events
re-imagined with verve, humour and compassion.
