This is a novel by Australian author Xavier Herbert, who won the Miles Franklin Award for this work in 1975. It is the longest Australian work of fiction ever written, and the longest single-volume novel to have been written in the English language. It is set in Northern Australia during the late 1930s and early 1940s, and tells the story of three social outcasts: Prindy, a half-Indigenous boy; Jeremy, his white grandfather who criticizes Australian nationalism and racism; and Rifkah, a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany. The novel explores the themes of identity, culture, politics, and history in Australia. The book was published by Collins in 1975 and has 1363 pages.
