Descriere

From the author of "Remembering Babylon"--a novel of mysterious power that explores the gulf between fate and justice, duty and compassion. In Australia in 1827, two men--an illiterate Irish convict, sentenced to hang at dawn and the soldier who must supervise the deed--talk through the night. Out of their conversations, Malouf creates what is at once a mystery and a poetic meditation on the themes that occupy the silent center of our lives.
