{"product_id":"9781925240306-secondhand-tourmaline","title":"Tourmaline","description":"Once prosperous, the town of Tourmaline in outback Western  Australia is dying. The mines are drying up and the land is riddled by  drought. Those townspeople left have little to do but wile away the  hours with drink.\n Salvation of sorts arrives in the form of Michael Random, a mysterious  water diviner who emerges from the desert. As the town's reluctant  messiah Random begins to spread the word of Christ. Desperate for a  reprieve, many of the locals are drawn to his teachings, but a stubborn  few remain sceptical of their new leader.\n A post-apocalyptic parable, Tourmaline is Randolph Stow's most  allusive and controversial novel. It remains a landmark in Australian  literature more than half a century after its first publication.\n 'Intense and extraordinary.' Spectator\n 'Brilliantly evocative...disturbing.'
