A SWEEPING, IRREPRESSIBLY INVENTIVE ROMANCE NOVEL OF THE SORT THAT COULD ONLY TAKE PLACE IN 19TH CENTURY AUStrALIA

"We have a great novelist living on the planet with us, and his name is Peter Carey." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Carey Luxuriates in language…Oscar and Lucinda is a brilliant success." --San Francisco Chronicle

Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes who stars in the epic romance Oscar and Lucinda, masterfully reads Peter Carey's Booker Prize-winning novel.

This sweeping, irrepressibly inventive novel, is a romance of the sort that could only take place in 19th-century Australia. For only on that sprawling continent, a haven for misfits of both the animal and human kingdoms, could a nervous Anglican minister who gambles on the instructions of the Divine becomes allied with a teenaged heiress who buys a glassworks to help liberate her sex. And only the prodigious imagination of Peter Carey could implicate Oscar and Lucinda in a narrative of love and commerce, religion and colonialism that culminates in a demented scheme to transport a glass church across the Outback.

The Random House AudioBook includes an excerpt from the original soundtrack by Thomas Newman. Exclusively on Sony Classical.
