Description
In Richard Flanagan's powerful debut, a near-death experience plunges river guide Ajaz Cosini into a hallucinatory descent through Tasmania's brutal history and his own family's violent secrets. As the icy waters threaten to claim him, Ajaz confronts the intertwined fates of his ancestors and the untamed spirit of the land itself. This ambitious novel masterfully blurs the lines between dream and reality, offering a profound and unflinching exploration of identity, memory, and the very soul of a nation.
