Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has stamped inside page. Set against a backdrop - the Australian coast - as randomly and imminently violent as it is beautiful,The Ripreveals the fragility of relationships between husbands and wives, children and parents, friends and lovers.You will find yourself set down in a modern Garden of Eden with a disgraced Adam seeking his Eve; sharing the fears of a small boy in a coastal classroom as a tsunami approaches; in an English gaol cell with an Australian surfer on drug charges; watching an American film scout confront his masculinity on a Pacific island, and witnessing a middle-aged farmer contemplating murdering the hippie who stole his wife.Written in a variety of moods, always compassionate, wry and razor-sharp, these dazzling stories are crafted with all the weight and resonance of Drewe's longer fiction as well as the incisive wit, passion and pathos of his Australian classic,The Bodysurfers.
