The city is Sydney; from it's familiar streets and gardens men have been banished. Their existence still threatens its precincts and Old Man Death moves rapaciously and relentlessly among it's citizens. Billie observes them - their hedonism, rivalry, passions, cruelty, power, fragility. Reflecting her own anguish at the loss of love and youth, they suffer brutality and decay. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; General; ISBN: 0713914084. ISBN/EAN: 9780713914085.
