KENEALLY, THOMAS - The Office of Innocence
London, Sceptre. 2002. (ISBN: 0340624736). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. Set in Sydney in 1942 - the year of the fall of Singapore, the bombing of Darwin and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour by Japanese midget submarines. Despite the hordes of American soldiers making their presence felt, Australia seems doomed to be invaded by the Japanese. Through the eyes of Father Frank Darragh, an impessionable young priest, we see into the hearts of a people fearing the end of life as they know it, doing things they would never dream of in peacetime and challenging the church's teachings. Bringing wartime Australia strikingly to life, the Australian author delivers a thought provoking novel about conscience and courage, love and lost innocence. D4B. Fine/Fine.
