Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'It's hard to find the right words to praise this novel. I think we need a whole new critical vocabulary to be invented.

Jane Rawson's writing is mysterious, chilling and tender. The book is a sort of miracle.' Lian HearnFrom the Wreck tells the remarkable story of George Hills, who survived the sinking of the steamship Admella off the South Australian coast in 1859.
