About the Book

Front Cover 'A powerful and poignant book about love and loss.' Suzy Baldwin Back Cover Shortlisted, National Fiction Award, Festival Awards for Literature 1998 Shortlisted, National Book Council 'Banjo' Award 1996 Shortlisted, Benella Award for Best Audio Book, Braille + Talking Book Library Awards 1997 'The effect is like a deepening acquaintance with someone as you discover, over many conversations, a hinterland of unguessed experience.' Daily Telegraph, London 'Anna is a memorable heroine, as complex and surprising as the town which she, and Disher, conjure up in such depth.' Sunday Times 'Mesmerising in its effect.a novel of immense charm and integrity.' Sunday Age 'Its power and beauty lie in the fact that it is perfectly imagined.' Financial Review The Sunken Road is a moving, powerful novel set in the wheat and wool country of mid-north South Australia. At once the story of a region, a town and a people, it is also the story of Anna Tolley---'leggy, wilful, auburn-haired, always answering back'---who lives through momentous changes and earns envy, love and hatred of those around her. The Sunken Road sparkles. Details accumulate, secrets rise to the surface, and slowly we are granted tantalising insights into the passions and heartaches of one of the most memorable characters in Australian fiction. Shortlisted for the 1996 National Book Council Award for fiction.
