Kangaroo

Kangaroo is a semi-autobiographical novel by D. H. Lawrence. It follows a British writer on his visit to New South Wales. In it there are vivid descriptions of the Australian countryside and a powerful glimpse into a wartime Cornwall. Lawrence delves deeply into his thoughts on relationship, power and the people of Australia. Perhaps Lawrence's finest, if not most accessible, novel. "e;One of the sharpest fictional visions of the country [Australia] and its people"e;.--Gideon Haigh
