Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'The day the great man sang, heat blazed in haloes over Bennelong Point. This is what Pearl will remember, later, this is what she will say: that his voice turned the air holy. Men, sweat-slicked, stood with bowed heads or hung off scaffolds, swatting at flies and tears. Few looked at the singer; they needed all their senses to hear. Needed their whole bodies, skin and eyes and hearts, to absorb what they couldnt say: that sacredness had returned to this place. It flowed through them on a single human voice, through their bodies and the building that was rising beneath their hands.' A shimmering love letter to Sydney, with the husk of the emerging Opera House its beating heart Required reading Australian Womens Weekly Sydney, 1960s: newspaper reporter Pearl Keogh has been relegated to the womens pages as punishment for her involvement in the anti-war movement, and is desperate to find her two young brothers before they are conscripted. Newly arrived from Sweden, Axel Lindquist is set to work as a sculptor on the Sydney Opera House. Haunted by his fathers acts in the Second World War, he seeks solace in his attempts to create a unique piece that will do justice to the vision of Jrn Utzon, the controversial architect of the Opera Houses construction. Pearl and Axels lives orbit and collide, as they both struggle in the eye of the storm. This is a soaring, optimistic novel of art and culture, and of love and fate. A beautifully crafted, spellbinding story of love, loss and identity, set in the shadow of the Vietnam War, for readers who lovedAll the Light We Cannot SeeandThe Goldfinch.
