But a chance meeting with Amalia von Schalla brings new possibilities for Delage-connections, her daughter Elisabeth, and an avant garde composer. Now travelling home, on a container ship, with Elisabeth, the real story is about to begin. This beautiful hardcover edition of Murray Bail's new work is the perfect gift for lovers of fine literature.
