NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
Elizabeth Hunter, an ex-socialite in her eighties, has a mystical experience during a summer storm in Sydney which transforms all her relationships: her existence becomes charged with a meaning which communicates itself to those around her. From this simple scenario Patrick White unfurls a monumental exploration of the tides of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, impotence and and longing that fester within family relationships.
Beautiful and heroic...Every passage merits attention and gives satisfaction * New York Times Book Review *
One of the greatest magicians of fiction ... White's scope is vast and his invention endless * Observer *
Patrick White is, in the finest sense, a world novelist. His themes are catholic and complex and he pursues them with a single-minded energy and vision * Guardian *
The outstanding figure in Australian fiction * New York Times *
In his major postwar novels, the pain and earnestness of the individual’s quest for ‘meaning and design’ can be felt more intensely than perhaps anywhere else in contemporary Western prose * Sunday Times *
