Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Who wants to be the same as everyone else? You don't want to be ordinary, do you?' Tom always imagined he was adopted. At 17, he flees ordinariness in small-town Australia for Melbourne and a run-down block named Cairo. There he meets Max Cheever. Enigmatic, artistic, anarchic: Max liberates Tom into a new world - of first love, first crimes - and the greatest art heist of the twentieth century. This is his family now. But of all this summer's lessons, the cruellest will be telling what is real from what is fake. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARDFrustrated by country life and eager for adventure and excitement, seventeen-year-old Tom Button moves to the city to study. Once there, and living in a run-down apartment block called Cairo, he is befriended by the eccentric musician Max Cheever, his beautiful wife Sally, and their close-knit circle of painters and poets.As Tom falls under the sway of his charismatic older friends, he enters a bohemian world of parties and gallery openings. Soon, however, he is caught up in more sinister events involving deception and betrayal, not to mention one of the greatest unsolved art heists of the twentieth century- the infamous theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman.Set among the demimonde - where nothing and nobody is as they seem - Cairo is a novel about growing up, the perils of first love, and finding one's true place in the world.'One of the unrepentantly daring and original talents in the landscape of Australian fiction.'-Sydney Morning Herald'Chris Womersley's third novel, Cairo, is as fresh and unexpected as his first two . an accomplished performance from a writer whose advent was dramatic and whose career has consolidated with an impressive power to surprise.'-Peter Pierce, The Australian'More straight-talking than John Banville, less tricksy than Julian Barnes, Womersley nonetheless shares their interest in the adult man forged in the flames of intense youthful experience. To this he adds the tension - though not necessarily the moral questions - of crime . Womersley is a master of mood, illustrating dingy but exciting Fitzroy, with lively, tender strokes'-Estelle Tang, The Saturday Age Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
