Australian Fiction

Three nurses are drawn to Acacia House, a riverside hospice in Perth, Western Australia. Initially discomfited, they soon warm to the community - a palette of diverse care-givers and patients, rich and poor, religious and irreligious, Aboriginal and immigrant. The far-reaching effects of caring are illuminated in this timely novel. "A profoundly moving and intelligent novel of great range and depth." - Dennis Haskell, Poet, Editor and Literary Essayist.
