The Sound of One Hand Clapping

FROM THE BESTSELLING BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR In the winter of 1954, in a construction camp in the remote Tasmanian highlands, when Sonja Buloh was three years old and her father was drinking too much, her mother disappeared into a blizzard never to return. Thirty-five years later, Sonja returns to the place of her childhood to visit her drunkard father. The shadows of the past begin to intrude ever more forcefully into the present, forever changing his living death and her ordered life.
