In 1915 a troopship of Light Horsemen sails from Fremantle for the Great War.
Two women farewell their men: Elizabeth, with her background of careless wealth,
and Bonnie, who is marked by the anxieties of poverty. Neither can predict how
the effects of the most brutal fighting at Gallipoli will devastate their lives
in the long aftermath of the war.
The Wing of Night is a novel about the strength and failure of faith and memory,
about returned soldiers who become exiles in their own country, about how people
may become the very opposite of what they imagined themselves to be. Brenda
Walker writes with a terrible grandeur of the grime and drudge of the
battlefield, and of how neither men nor women can be consoled for the wreckage
caused by a foreign war.
