Follow an epic journey of displacement and hope in this poignant portrayal of the migrant experience. In Distant Land, acclaimed author Judah Waten tells the story of Joshua Kuperschmidt and his wife Shoshanah as they leave their traditional Jewish life in Poland for the unfamiliar shores of Australia. The novel provides a deeply moving account of the challenges and triumphs of starting over in a new country.

Waten masterfully captures the atmosphere of early 20th-century Australia through the eyes of newcomers, highlighting the resilience required to build a life from scratch. A central work in the development of multicultural Australian literature, Distant Land is a powerful exploration of identity, family, and the enduring search for a place to call home. This edition is a must-read for those interested in the social history of Australia and the universal human story of migration.
