Sobre este audiolivro

In her flat above Drylands' newsagency, Janet Deakin is writing a book for the world's last reader. Little has changed in her 50 years, except for the coming of cable TV. Loneliness is almost a religion, and still everyone knows your business. But the town is being outmanoeuvred by drought and begins to empty, pouring itself out like water into sand. Small minds shrink even smaller in the vastness of the land. One man is forced out by council rates and bigotry; another sells his property, risking the lot to build his dream. And all of them are shadowed by violence of some sort - these people whose only victory over the town is in leaving it.

Sobre o autor

Thea Astley (1925–2004) was one of Australia's most respected and acclaimed novelists. She won the Miles Franklin Award four times and in 1989 she was awarded the Patrick White Award. Her titles include Hunting the Wild Pineapple and It's Raining in Mango – both are published in audio by Bolinda.

Beverley Dunn is one of Australia's most distinguished actresses. Her acclaimed work in theatre, television, radio and film has taken her all over Australia and overseas. Among her many television credits are two years in The Flying Doctors, and she also toured Australia for hit stage productions of Hotel Sorrento and A Happy and Holy Occasion, which won her a Green Room Award in 1993. She was also the narrator of White Eye by Blanche d'Alpuget, the 1994 TDK Australian Audio Book of the Year, and White Coolies by Betty Jeffrey, which was shortlisted at the Audie awards and won the Golden Ears award.
