Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this shimmering work of imagination, one of Australia's most honored writers conjures a single still moment on the edge of the 20th century in which two unlikely people share a friendship. When Ashley Crowther returns to Australia to manage his father's property, he discovers a timeless landscape of kingfishers and ibises; he also meets Jim Saddler, the young woodsman who becomes Ashley's guide to his inheritance. Together they discard the differences of personality and class to enter a partnership of wonder. But when war breaks out in Europe, Jim and Ashley are drawn into obscene enterprise of the trenches, where death falls from the sky and burrows out of the earth. In telling the story of these men, Fly Away Peter combines overwhelmingly sensual imagery with an unblinking consciousness of the worst that history can inflict to produce a novel of phosphorescent beauty. A work of lingering beauty and emotional resonance. As Jim Saddler introduces his young employer to the ways of swamp wildlife, the lines of class and education dissolve in a brief space of time on the edge of the 20th century. We next find the two in the trenches of France, struggling to retain the world and self each has left behind--but may never see again.
