Description
One hundred and fifty years after the establishment of land-based whaling in Australia, its last outpost is struggling to survive. The arrival of conservationists threatens the town's livelihood and awakens long-dormant passions among its inhabitants.
The fragile peace under which they live is disturbed, leading to a clash between nostalgic heroes and the heroism of compassion. Tim Winton's novel is a powerful exploration of pride, loneliness, longing for love, and the human struggle in a cynical world.
