Landscape of Farewell by Alex Miller
A profound and moving story about the land, the past, exile and acceptance.
Alex Miller is a wonderful writer, one that Australia has been keeping secret from the rest of us for too longLandscape of Farewell is at once elegiac and bracing and, as always, limpidly written. -- John Banville
Landscape of Farewell provides a compelling account of interactions between past and present... with luminous descriptions of place, dryly matter-of-fact evocations of character and incident, and humorous affectation for human foibles and perverseness... By the end of the novel we are glad to have known its numerous characters. * Times Literary Supplement *
