In turn-of-the-century Australia, Tim Shea supports his young family by running a general store in a remote riverside town where he finds the same hypocrisy and snobbery which made him emigrate from Ireland, and suffers a series of misfortunes which take him to the brink of disaster. Capturing the spirit of the times and place, this is the mesmerising tale of a flawed hero whose stubborn integrity is nearly his undoing. Gilt embossed, bound in Fine Genuine brown leather - 22kt gold-stamped spine accents, distinctive raised spine hubs, specially milled acid-neutral paper, Smyth-sewn pages, gilded page edges. Permanent satin ribbon page-marker, 325 pages, 1995 Franklin Library.
