Description

Rootless, restless, nomadic, longing to escape the decay of post-war Europe, Richard and Harriet Somers flee to Australia, hoping to begin a new and freer life.

Richard, a disillusioned writer, is drawn into an extreme political group headed by the enigmatic Kangaroo.

In his search for ideal love, both brotherly and personal, Somers finds himself both attracted and repelled by Kangaroo - with terrifying consequences.

This is D. H. Lawrence's eighth novel, set in Australia. He wrote the first draft in just forty-five days while living south of Sydney and revised it three months later in New Mexico.

The descriptions of the country are vivid and sympathetic and the book fuses lightly disguised autobiography with an exploration of political ideas at an immensely personal level.
