Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
This is a simply remarkable book which well deserved its winning of the Miles Franklin Award. The story of a Christian who has lost his faith but finds a new one with the help of an Aboriginal guide is inspiring and inspired. I was sad when I reached the last page.
