Driven by a vivid cast of characters, it explores necessary emigration, the art of fiction, and ethnic and class conflict. As Hilary Mantel has written, "I so admire Michelle de Kretser's formidable technique-her characters feel alive, and she can create a sweeping narrative that encompasses years and yet still retain the sharp, almost hallucinatory detail." Pippa is an Australian writer who longs for the success of her novelist teacher and eventually comes to fear that she "missed everything important." In Paris, Celeste tries to convince herself that her feelings for her married lover are reciprocated. Ash makes strategic use of his childhood in Sri Lanka, but blots out the memory of a tragedy from that time and can't commit to his trusting girlfriend, Cassie. Sri Lankan Christabel, who is generously offered a passage to Sydney by Bunty, an old acquaintance, endures her dull job and envisions a brighter future that "rose, glittered, and sank back," while she neglects the love close at hand. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a International travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loneliness $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Australian fiction. 650 4 $a International travel $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Arserio, Shiromi, $e narrator. 710 2 $a HighBridge Audio (Firm) 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 941 $a 2 945 $a cda 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012505.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107021510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=697AA618961911E8A89F3E0097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
