Beschreibung

<p><b>'Striking...brilliantly done' <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b>An ember storm of a novel, this is Booker Prize-winning novelist Richard Flanagan at his most moving</b><b>-a</b><b>nd astonishing</b><b>-</b><b>best. </b><br><br>Anna's aged mother is dying - if her three children would just allow it. Forced by their pity to stay alive, she increasingly escapes through her hospital window into visions of horror and delight.<br><br>When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her others are similarly vanishing, but no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely beautiful novel about hope, love and orange-bellied parrots.<br><br><b>The ultimate novel to understand our world today.</b><br><br><b>'One of our greatest living novelists' <i>Washington Post</i></b></p>
