About this listen

Through the crumbling ruins of the once splendid Xanadu, Miss Hare wanders, half mad. In the wilderness she stumbles upon an Aboriginal artist and a Jewish refugee. They place themselves in the care of a local washerwoman. In a world of pervasive evil, all four have been independently damaged and discarded.

Now in one shared vision they find themselves bound together, understanding the possibility of redemption.

My favourite Patrick White novel superbly read here. A glorious panoply of suburban Australia and religiosity with drama, wit, a miasma of metaphor and metaphysics. Genius.
