Praise for The White Earth:'Tremendous narrative skill . . . a lean, intelligent, and incisive novel.'The Sydney Morning Herald'These characters . . . could have stepped from the pages of a Dickens novel. . . . At one level a suspenseful gothic thriller. At another it's a national allegory, with its portent that past wrongs will come back to haunt future generations.'The Age'A powerful work, filled with passion and a kind of surreal grandiosity. . . . A truly compelling story. . . . It reverberates long after it's been finished.'The New Zealand HeraldWhen young William's ineffectual father is killed in an accidental fire, he is cast upon the charity of an unknown greatuncle, John McIvor. The bitter, childless old man had been brought up to expect to marry the heiress to Kuran Stationa grand estate in the Australian Outbackonly to be disappointed by his rejection and the subsequent selling off of the land. His life has been devoted to putting the estate back together; he has only recently partially succeeded and moved into the disintegrating, onceelegant mansion, Kuran House.McIvor tries to imbue William with his obsession for the land. He enlists him to work in a crackpot political party he is active in, whose policy is to thwart the Aborigines' attempts to recover ancestral territory. For recently passed laws entitle the native peoples to reclaim certain sacred sites.William's mother desperately wants her son to ingratiate himself so that he will become John McIvor's heir. But what no one knows, because neither his uncle nor his mother actually ever see him, is that William is ill and his condition is gradually worsening.
