Synopsis

Elegiac and seductive, Belomor is the frontier where truth and invention meet - where fragments from distant lives intermingle and cohere. A man seeks out the father figure who shaped his picture of the past. A painter seeks redemption after the disasters of his years in northern Australia. A student of history travels into the depths of religion to escape the demons in his mind. A filmmaker seeks out freedom and open space, and looks into the murk and sediment of herself. Four lives, separate, yet interwoven as the entrancing narrative unfolds.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

LONGLISTED FOR THE MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD

'Hugely impressive... a captivating meditation on art, human history and spirituality.' --The Guardian
'I found myself completely captured by the lucid detachment and uncanny atmosphere of Nicolas Rothwell's Belomor.' --Alex Clark of TLS

'Rothwell renders the narrator's running, looking, moving search in proudly literary language... "It's not so much a story", says one character in what serves as another description of Rothwell's elegant, unsettling Belomor. "It's something else. A set of tones, or moods."' --TLS
