Examining ideas of belonging and being an outsider, this story follows Billy, a
young school teacher and drifter who arrives in Australia's remote far north in
search of his past, his Aboriginal roots, and his future. Through masterful
language and metaphor, as well as a sophisticated tone that is both subtle and
spirited, the novel finds Billy in a region not only of abundance and beauty but
also of conflict, dispossession, and dislocation. On the frontier between
cultures, Billy must find where he belongs in what is ultimately a powerful
portrayal of the discovery of self and a sensitive exploration of race and
culture.
