Landscape Of Farewell
A hauntingly beautiful meditation on the land, the past, exile
and friendship, Landscape of Farewell is the powerful new
novel from acclaimed Australian author, Alex Miller.
It is the story of Max Otto, an elderly German academic. After the
death of his much-loved wife and his recognition that he will never
write the great study of history that was to be his life's crowning
work, Max believes his life is all but over. Everything changes,
though, when his valedictory lecture is challenged by Professor
Vita McLelland, a feisty young Australian Aboriginal academic
visiting Germany. Their meeting and growing friendship sets Max on
a journey that would have seemed unthinkable just a few short weeks
earlier.
When, at Vita's invitation, Max travels to Australia, he forms a
deep friendship with her uncle, Aboriginal elder Dougald Gnapun. It
is a friendship that not only gives new meaning and purpose to Max,
but which teaches him the profound importance of truth-telling in
reconciliation with his own and his country's past.
Following Alex Miller's Miles Franklin-winning Journey to the
Stone Country, Landscape of Farewell is a wise and grave novel
of power, beauty and truth.
