Bass, Rick: "This beautifully written book brings an old story to new lands, to all lands: how to love, how to feel and how to be loved. There are sentences in this book that jar your senses with the ease of their craft--sentences which remind you to hurry up and live." |

| More Information |
| Details: |
In his 13th novel, Tim Winton depicts the panoramic tragedy of Scully, a ruddy, working-class fellow in Ireland whose wife, Jennifer, disappears suddenly and mysteriously after he has a ghostly vision of 20 horsemen one winter night. Scully's seven-year-old daughter, Billy, may have witnessed Jennifer's disappearance, but has been rendered mute by the ordeal. Clues lead Scully and his daughter on a quest that covers Greece, Italy, Paris, and Amsterdam, as Scully slowly accepts his failure along with the idea that some things will never be known. |
