A sweeping novel of world war, migration, and the search for new
beginnings in a new land, The Sound of One Hand Clapping was both
critically acclaimed and a best-seller in Australia. It is a
virtuoso performance from an Australian who is emerging as one of
our most talented new storytellers.
It was 1954, in a construction camp for a hydroelectric dam in
the remote Tasmanian highlands, where Bojan Buloh had brought his
family to start a new life away from Slovenia, the privations of
war, and refugee settlements. One night, Bojan's wife walked off
into a blizzard, never to return -- leaving Bojan to drink too much
to quiet his ghosts, and to care for his theer-year-old daughter
Sonja alone. Thirty-five years later, Sonja returns to Tasmania and
a father haunted by memories of the European war and other, more
recent horrors. As the shadows of the past begin to intrude ever
more forcefully into the present, Sonja's empty life and her
father's living death are to change forever. The Sound of One Hand
Clapping is about the barbarism of an old world left behind, about
the harshness of a new country, and the destiny of those in a land
beyond hope who seek to redeem themselves through love.
