Publisher's Summary

The art historian Noah Glass, having just returned from a trip to Sicily, is discovered floating face down in the swimming pool at his Sydney apartment block. His adult children, Martin and Evie, must come to terms with the shock of their father’s death. But a sculpture has gone missing from a museum in Palermo, and Noah is a suspect. The police are investigating.

None of it makes any sense. Martin sets off to Palermo in search of answers about his father’s activities, while Evie moves into Noah’s apartment, waiting to learn where her life might take her.

Retracing their father’s steps in their own way, neither of his children can see the path ahead.

Critic Reviews

‘The Death of Noah Glass is among (Jones’s) finest work and I expect it will be among this year’s outstanding novels.’ (The Australian)
‘In all of Gail Jones’s writing, words bump up against images from art and cinema – visual keys to convey what narrative may not.’ (Saturday Paper)

'The Death of Noah Glass is a transportive novel, dreamy and evocative, and full of richly drawn characters.' (CultureFly)
