Set in Venezuela in the early 1950s UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY paints a vivid portrait of an expatriate world: insular, self-absorbed and somehow desparate. Into the lives of the mainly British and American community comes a strange and disturbing Dutch family - refugees of a war far more terrible than they can imagine. This is a beautiful and profound novel about the emotional legacy of the second world war, and the sense of loss and displacement that imbues the expatriate life.

Synopsis:
