Paperback. Zustand: Good. 337 pages. Cover wornFrom Publishers Weekly Comprising three novellas, this uneven book is at on ce compelling and disturbing. Preoccupied by war and death, Sligo's characters s earch for meaning within the narrow confines of rural New Zealand. A New Eden? chronicles the tragedies and triumphs of a family seeking an alternative to the provincial views and lifestyles of their fellow villagers, who run the gamut fr om anti-Communist, mean-spirited gossips to soldiers who glorify war because it provides a temporary escape. Nicholas Fieschi, dying of leukemia, returns to New Zealand to make peace with himself and his family in Going Home, a powerful, lyrical meditation on the search for transcendence.

The drawback s are counterbalanced, though, by Sligo's astute probing of eternity, and by mom ents of enlightenment and mystic wisdom that are strewn throughout like gems.
