Christine piper word's are like an artist's brush bringing the Australian lanscape to life so you can almost feel the heat coming from the pages,and the dust on your skin.Dr Ibaraki is seen as an enemy alien in 1942 being japanese and working in Broom in a japanese hospital ,after leaving Japan and his wife in shame .He is arrested and sent to an
internment camp .Enjoyed this book a lot hope you do too.

The sun spread on the horizon,bleeding colour like a broken yolk.In the growing light,I watched the details of the landscape emerge.The leaves of the eucalypts became sharply defined.The ochre earth glowed.
