Synopsis

Sydney, 1942, and in a nation threatened by a Japanese invasion, with husbands absent and sleek Gls present, a spirit of recklessness takes hold. Frank Darragh, an innocent young curate, finds the line between saving others' souls and losing his own begins to blur as he beomes entangled with a beautiful married woman, a menage a trois, and a charismatic American sergeant. With his customary storytelling skill, Keneally delivers an enthralling and thought-provoking novel about what drives some to God, others to murder and so many to war.
