Biographie de l'auteur :
This is a story that can only be told in a whisper...
In the remote outback of North-west Australia, English anthropologist Nicholas Keene and his wife Stella raise a curious child, Perdita. Her childhood is far from ordinary; a shack in the wilderness, with a distant father burying himself in books and an unstable mother whose knowledge of Shakespeare forms the backbone of the girl's limited education. Emotionally adrift, Perdita develops a friendship with an Aboriginal girl, Mary, with whom she will share a very special bond. She appears content with her unusual family life in this remote corner of the globe until Nicholas Keane is discovered murdered.
Through this exquisite story of a young girl's survival against the odds, Gail Jones explores the values of friendship, loyalty and sacrifice with a skill that has already earned her numerous accolades for her previous novels Dreams of Speaking and Sixty Lights.
GAIL JONES teaches literature, cinema and cultural studies at the University of Western Australia. She is the author of Dreams of Speaking (Harvill/Vintage) for which she was longlisted for the Orange Prize in 2006. One previous novel Sixty Lights has been published in the UK for which she was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2004.
