このコンテンツについて
Edith and Frances, living with their mother on a tiny farm in the south-east of Australia, are visited by their cousin Leopold and his Armenian friend Aram. The two young men are taking the long way home after working on an archaeological dig in Iraq. It is 1937. The modern world they say, is waiting to erupt. Among the tales they tell is the story of Gilgamesh, the legendary king of Uruk, in ancient Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh's great journey of mourning after the death of his friend Enkidu, and his search for the secret of eternal life, is to resonate through all of their lives. In 1939 Edith and her young child set off on an impossible journey of their own, to find themselves trapped by the outbreak of war. The story of this journey is the story of encounters and escapes, of friendship and love, of loss and acceptance.
©2001 Joan London (P)2002 Bolinda Publishing批評家のレビュー
"Written in a wonderfully economical prose, alternatively bristling and resonating with suggestiveness." (Australian Book Review)
"London writes with deft, poetic economy that makes every page sharp and of interest." (The Age)
"This is a writer who understands both the power of myth in our lives and the ties which bind humanity." (The Bulletin)
