  • Product Description

    Miss Hare lives alone in the ruins of her family estate in the 1960s suburbs of Sydney, attended only by her housekeeper Mrs. Jolley. In her wanderings Miss Hare meets Alf Dubbo, an aboriginal artist; Mordecai Himmelfarb, a Holocaust survivor; and Mrs. Godbold, a local washerwoman. Tender and lacerating, subtle and sweeping, Patrick White?s boldest novel traces the personal and spiritual histories of these four lost souls toward the moment they meet and recognize their shared vision. Riders in the Chariot was the winner of the 1961 Miles Franklin Prize for Best Australian Novel and the 1965 Gold Medal of the Australian Literature Society. Author Patrick White (1912-1990) was Australia's Nobel laureate in literature.
