Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A Long Way from Home is Peter Carey's late-style masterpiece ; a thrilling, high-speed story that starts in one way, then takes you to another place altogether. Set in the 1950s and painting a picture of the age of Empire ― of kings and queens and their subjects, black and white ― this brilliantly vivid novel illustrates the strands of an ancient culture spiralling through history, and the love made and hurt caused along the way.
