But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.

A dark and unsettling tale, set at the turn of the 20th century, that will stay with you long after you finish listening - from a master of Australian literature. Out in that country, the sun smeared the sky and nothing ever altered, except that one day a scrap man came by.... Her name is scarcely known or remembered.
