Publisher Description
A searing and magnificent picture of Australia at the moment of its foundation, with early settlers staking out their small patch of land and terrified by the harsh and alien continent. Focussing on the hostility between the early British inhabitants and the native Aborigines. Remembering Bablyon tells the tragic and compelling story of a boy who finds himself caught between the two worlds. Shot through with humour, and written with the poetic intensity that characterised Malouf's An Imaginary Life, this is a novel of epic scope yet it is simple, compassionate and universal: a classic.

My favourite book in the world
Janet is a fantastic character. As I read the book I felt connected to her as though I was seeing everything happen through her eyes. The book focuses on a lot of characters personal developments which is instrumental to its poetic nature. It doesn’t shy away from issues of race and stigmas surrounding race. This book is simply amazing and I definitely recommend it.
