The Way Home (1925) is a novel by Henry Handel Richardson. Based on
the life of her parents, The Way Home is the second in a trilogy of
novels later published as The Fortunes of Richard Mahony (1930).
The trilogy has earned praise from countless authors and critics
for its startling depictions of a man's decline due to mental
illness and the lengths to which his wife must go to care for their
young family. "In this pleasant spot Richard Mahony had made his
home. Here, too, he had found the house of his dreams. It was built
of stone-under a tangle of creeper-was very old, very solid: floors
did not shake to your tread, and, shut within the four walls of a
room, voices lost their carrying power. But its privacy was what he
valued most." After years of struggle in the Australian outback,
Richard Mahony returns to his native England to live out his years
in comfort and quiet. Although his dreams have been realized, he
soon discovers the prejudice with which the wealthy view men who
went across the world to make their fortunes. Unable to gain a
foothold in the land of his birth, he makes the difficult decision
to return to Australia. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry Handel
Richardson's The Way Home is a classic of Australian literature
reimagined for modern readers.
