Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 464 pages. A novel which has two narratives. First there is William Dawes travelling to Australia with the first fleet, charting the first years of the Botany Bay settl ement. In parallel and mirroring this story we find the story of Stephen and his Polish wife and their disabled child Daniel.

Their narratives are joined nby a tortured third, that of Stephen's Polish wife, Olla, who, nafter a series of miscarriages and the death of one infant, h as njust given birth to a severely brain-damaged child, Daniel. nRefusing to acc ept the doctors' prognosis, Olla persists in nbelieving that Daniel is remarkabl e, a redeemer come to save the nworld from evil. Compromise, destruction or salv.…
