Description:
Sydney: Vintage Books / Random House, 2012. 1st ed.. Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, top edge little foxed, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear, publisher sticker front cover. 432 pp. Drusilla Modjeska writes a novel set in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where its culture and people cannot escape modern life. It is a story of betrayal, grief and loss. Set in 1968, and PNG is on the brink of independence. Amidst the turmoil ethnographic filmmaker Leonard arrives from England with his Dutch wife, Rika, to study and film an isolated village high in the mountains. The villagers customs and art have been passed down through generations, and Rika is immediately struck by their paintings on a cloth made of bark. Rika and Leonard are also confronted with the new university in Moresby, where intellectual ambition and the idealism of youth are creating friction among the locals. (First edition. Sticker front cover: 'Random House, Book Month, Highly Recommended'.).
