AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Following his wife's death, Mitchell Granville, retired barrister and son of a celebrated politician, spends his twilight years hidden in a village in the Blue Mountains. For company he has his books, his late father's semi-wild peacocks, and a sculpture of a naked woman's torso. Over time he succumbs to loneliness and realises that there is at least one person he needs to rediscover. When he finally makes contact, all does not go as planned. Soon he finds himself being coaxed into a trek that crosses the breadth of his country and the depths of his past.' -- Pandanus Books website, http://www.pandanusbooks.com.au/item.php?searchterm=PB61B
