Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 316 pages. Brian Castro's novel is set in the Dandenong Rang es in the years between the Depression and the Second World War. The story revolves around Swan Hay, born Shuang He, daughter of a country schoolteacher, her marriage to the passionate and brut al Darcy Damon, and her love affair with the aviator and architec t Jasper Zenlin. Fifty years after her disappearance, Norman Shih , a rare book librarian, pieces together Swan's chaotic life from clues found in guest house libraries, antiquarian bookshops and her own elusive writings. But what exactly is his relationship to her? The Garden Book is about loneliness, addiction, exploitat ion; it is about the precarious nature of Australian lives, when gripped by fear and racial prejudice. Yet underlying the story, a nd commanding it, there is the assured beat of Castro's prose, ev oking an ideal world beyond these fears, full of richness and pow er. Seller Inventory # 1480u
