Description

Robert Crofts, a young Englishman, arrives in Australia in the 1950s, determined to inhabit the outback.

After five years of life on the land, he makes his way to Melbourne where, living in a boarding house, working as a cleaner, he finds himself consumed by a burning need to read, write, draw, create.

When he meets the enigmatic Lena, she instantly becomes his staunchest champion but as their tortured marriage evolves and gradually erodes she ultimately becomes an obstacle. This intensely autobiographical novel has much to say about the compulsion to create, and the fundamental unknowability of even our most intimate partners.

As the reader sinks into the text of this singular book, the artifice of fiction gradually melts away, leaving nothing but truth on the page.

In The Passage of Love Alex Miller has given us a masterful work which will come to define his career as one of the great writers of our time.
