At Los Alamos in the United States, idealistic physicists Miriam Carver and Fred Johnson join Robert Oppenheimer and a team of brilliant scientists in a collective dream to build a weapon that will stop all war, while Kitty Oppenheimer wrestles with restrictions on her freedom.

Kate Evans, ABC Radio, The Bookshelf'Catherine McKinnon's last novel, the Miles Franklin-shortlisted Storyland, is one of the more striking Australian novels of recent years . Her new novel, To Sing of War, is no less ambitious. Interweaving the stories of half a dozen characters spread across the planet, it traces them to their convergence in the moment when the bomb fell on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, wiping out tens of thousands of lives in a matter of seconds . The real power of this deeply intelligent and very affecting novel flows from its awareness of what war does to those caught up in it.' James Bradley, The Saturday Paper'War writing can sometimes be formulaic and cliched, but McKinnon seeks a grittier view of war's complexities.

Claire Delaney is an obstreperous fifteen year old, and her mother, Jackie, is a bit of a flake. They both have a lot on their plates, trying to keep to keep the younger children in their family together after the tragic death of their father. They're driving each other crazy. Jackie can't keep off the booze, and has decided to remarry a younger man, much to Claire's disgust. While Jackie embarks on a new pathway, that includes reworking long-held principles as well as getting her stand-up comedy career back on track, Claire apprentices herself to Nino Milani, a volatile if somewhat chauvinistic chef, who teaches her the secrets of his kitchen. But Nino's impact on Claire begins to affect Jackie too, in ways that are both unexpected and confusing. Around the warmth of the kitchen table, they both discover that life - like all the best recipes - is both mysterious and mysteriously simple. This is a witty look at the difficulty of dealing with the past in order to take on the future, a story about the foibles of love, the triumphs and disasters, and about the compassion, awkwardness and indignity of family life."--Provided by publisher.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Very Good. An ambitious, remarkable and moving novel about who we are: our past, present and future, and our connection to this land. In 1796, a young cabin boy, Will Martin, goes on a voyage of discovery in the Tom Thumb with Matthew Flinders and Mr Bass: two men and a boy in a tiny boat on an exploratory journey south from Sydney Cove to the Illawarra, full of hope and dreams, daring and fearfulness. Set on the banks of Lake Illawarra and spanning four centuries, Storyland is a unique and compelling novel of people and place - which tells in essence the story of Australia. Told in an unfurling narrative of interlinking stories, in a style reminiscent of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, McKinnon weaves together the stories of Will Martin together with the stories of four others: a desperate ex-convict, Hawker, who commits an act of terrible brutality; Lola, who in 1900 runs a dairy farm on the Illawarra with her brother and sister, when they come under suspicion for a crime they did not commit; Bel, a young girl who goes on a rafting adventure with her friends in 1998 and is unexpectedly caught up in violent events; and in 2033, Nada, who sees her world start to crumble apart. Intriguingly, all these characters are all connected - not only through the same land and water they inhabit over the decades, but also by tendrils of blood, history, memory and property.Compelling, thrilling and ambitious, Storyland is our story, the story of Australia. 'The land is a book waiting to be read' as one of the characters says - and this novel tells us an unforgettable and unputdownable story of our history, our present and our future. 'A beautifully woven story .a devastating retelling of man's effect on the land and the native people, and offers a chilling insight into what may come to pass with climate change. Storyland is reminiscent of Patrick White's A Fringe of Leaves, Kate Grenville's The Secret River and The Lieutenant .and even, dare I say, a bit of Tim Winton's Cloudstreet.' Books+Publishing 'Impressive .a haunted and haunting power' The Australian 'Breathtaking .simply stunning.' Herald Sun 'This is a book I will return to multiple times, both for its beauty and subtlety and for the sheer pleasure of experiencing the world it reflects.' Otago Daily Times 'Storyland is a worthy contender for the Great Australian Novel - encompassing, ambitious' Readings 'It just might be the real story of Australia' Qantas Magazine.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD.'Storyland is a worthy contender for the Great Australian Novel - encompassing, ambitious' ReadingsIn 1796, a young cabin boy, Will Martin, goes on a voyage of discovery in the Tom Thumb with Matthew Flinders and Mr Bass: two men and a boy in a tiny boat on an exploratory journey south from Sydney Cove to the Illawarra, full of hope and dreams, daring and fearfulness. Set on the banks of Lake Illawarra and spanning four centuries, Storyland is a unique and compelling novel of people and place - which tells in essence the story of Australia. Told in an unfurling narrative of interlinking stories, in a style reminiscent of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, McKinnon weaves together the stories of Will Martin together with the stories of four others: a desperate ex-convict, Hawker, who commits an act of terrible brutality; Lola, who in 1900 runs a dairy farm on the Illawarra with her brother and sister, when they come under suspicion for a crime they did not commit; Bel, a young girl who goes on a rafting adventure with her friends in 1998 and is unexpectedly caught up in violent events; and in 2033, Nada, who sees her world start to crumble apart. Intriguingly, all these characters are all connected - not only through the same land and water they inhabit over the decades, but also by tendrils of blood, history, memory and property. Compelling, thrilling and ambitious, Storyland is our story, the story of Australia. 'The land is a book waiting to be read' as one of the characters says - and this novel tells us an unforgettable and unputdownable story of our history, our present and our future.Storyland has been shortlisted for the 2018 Miles Franklin Award, the Barbara Jefferis Award and the Voss Award.'A beautifully woven story . a devastating retelling of man's effect on the land and the native people, and offers a chilling insight into what may come to pass with climate change. Storyland is reminiscent of Patrick White's A Fringe of Leaves, Kate Grenville's The Secret River and The Lieutenant . and even, dare I say, a bit of Tim Winton's Cloudstreet.'
