Two children are brought to a wild garden on the shores of Sydney Harbour to shelter from the Second World War. The boy's mother has died in the Blitz. The girl is the daughter of a Sydney woman and a Communist executed in a Greek prison. In wartime Australia, these two children form an extraordinary bond as they negotiate the dangers of life as strangers abandoned on the far side of the world.



With the tenderness and rigour of an old, wise novelist, Patrick White explores the world of these children, the city of his childhood and the experience of war. The Hanging Garden ends as the news reaches Sydney of victory in Europe, and the children face their inevitable separation.



White put the novel aside at this point and how he planned to finish the work remains a mystery. But at his death he left behind a masterpiece in the making, published here for the first time.

Review:
"[A] coherent and polished read, shrewd and tender about its two protagonists... Arresting." (Richard Davenport-Hines Spectator)

"What is instantly apparent is White's mastery of his art. He does what so many other writers ought to be able to do easily but often can't, which is set a scene economically and vividly." (Alan Taylor Herald)

"In Patrick White's centenary year, fans of Australia's only Nobel Laureate had two treats: the publication of his unfinished last novel, The Hanging Garden and the reissue of his first, Happy Valley." (Nicholas Shakespeare Daily Telegraph)

"It is frustrating and tantalising that The Hanging Garden is left, well, hanging." (Robert Macfarlane Sunday Times)
Book Description:
Two children negotiate the dangers of life as World War Two evacuees in this previously unpublished novel from the Nobel Prize-winning Patrick White
