Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tim Winton's first Miles Franklin-winner, Shallows revolves around the ruthless commerce of whaling, and Queenie Cookson, who joins the fight to end it.Angelus is a frontier town with a dark colonial past. And, for a century and a half, it's been a whaling port first and foremost. Queenie Cookson comes from a long line of whalers, but she loves the majestic creatures that visit every winter, so when citified conservationists descend on her community to protest, she's torn between loyalties. And everything solid around her begins to come apart.'Shallows is that rare thing, not historical fiction, but fiction which brings the history of a place to life . . . a major work of Australia literature.' Washington Post'A profound and inspiring work of fiction.' The Age'This is dazzling, dazzling. It makes the heart pound.' Los Angeles Times'Shallows is more than a passionate meditation on the tragedy of whaling; it is in some ways a minimalist Moby Dick, a questioning of the ways of God to man and of man to God.' Sydney Morning Herald Whales have been the life-force of Angelus, a coastal town in Western Australia. Their annual passing defines the rhythms of a life where little changes, and the town depends on their carcasses. So when Queenie Cookson, a local girl, joins the Greenies to make amends for the crimes of her whaling ancestors, it can only throw everything into chaos. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780143180258
