Description
Patrick White’s narrative unfolds across three distinct phases, beginning in pre-WWI Europe where Eudoxia Vatatzes lives as the young wife of an elderly Greek merchant. Following the war, the story shifts to the rugged landscapes of New South Wales, tracking the life of Eddie Twyborn on an isolated sheep station. Finally, the setting moves to London during the Blitz, where Eadith Trist manages a high-class brothel while navigating the chaos of the aerial bombardment.
