Description
An extraordinary new literary novel from the award-winning author of Dog Boy and The Last Garden.
Gem and Will grow up on a farm above the chasm and pool known as the Minstrels, a site where both are broken, each by the other. One will disappear. One will, eventually, be transformed.
Through her encounters with people and through art, land, and language, Gem is remade while the world outside changes and time runs out.
This long-awaited new novel from one of our finest writers is a sweeping epic set in literal and figurative blight in a fictional Australian geography; a work of self, time, and the very end of something. Wild, mythic, and potent, The Minstrels is an apocalyptic redemption fable that weaves the history and probable fate of the world into the life of one woman.
