New Ships From Canada New 336 pages From Library Journal In the aftermath of a rafting accident, Tasmanian river guide Aljaz Cosini lies lifeless at the bottom of a waterfall; not only does his own life flash before his eyes but also an array of his ancestors' travails, reaching back to the 1820s and outlining for the reader a cultural history of the island reflected through this family's personal journey The novel's protagonists are consistently dogged by a dirty little secret: the real possibility that both convict and aboriginal blood infests the family tree As Aljaz's hallucinations become more vast and detailed, this supposition appears to be true, and interspersed among the clan's misadventures is a compelling portrait of a country coming to grips with its unique heritage As metaphysical as this may sound, this new work from the author of the award-winning The Sound of One Hand Clapping reads more like a page-turner; excellently paced and brimming with personality, it has meaty.
