Remembering Babylon by David Malouf ( Signed Copy)

David Malouf is recognised internationally as one of Australia’s finest writers. In the mid 1840’s, a thirteen-year-old boy is cast ashore in the far north of Australia and taken in by aborigines. Sixteen years later, when settlers reach the area, he moves back into the world of Europeans, men and women who are staking their small patch of home in an alien place, hopeful and yet terrified of what it might do to them. Remembering Babylon gives a magnificent portrait of a continent and a searing account of the ordeals of settlement and first contact with the unknown. A compelling novel.
