{"product_id":"a-far-flung-life-m-l-stedman-9781529965308","title":"A Far-flung Life","description":"The mesmeric new novel from the author of the award-winning global bestseller, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS\nWestern Australia, 1958. A truck rumbles along a lonely outback road. A moment’s inattention, and in a few muddled seconds the lives of the MacBride family are shattered.\nInstead of leaving them to heal, fate comes back for them in a twist of consequences that will cause one of them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the sake of an innocent child.\nSet in the expanse of a vast and flat landscape, where the weather is a capricious god and a million-acre sheep station is barely a dot on the map, A Far-flung Life explores the hearts of a handful of isolated souls and the secrets they shield in order to survive.\nCapturing a family, a community, a generation, M L Stedman tells of the many ways humans can do each other wrong and how we move on when things can’t be put right. With shimmering prose and a delicious wit, the mysteries of being human are laid bare in this hopeful meditation on time and resilience and the lengths we go to to protect what we love.\n*****\nPraise for The Light Between Oceans:\n'An extraordinary book…Unforgettable' Guardian\n'A moving tale . . . prepare to weep' New York Times\n‘A moving tale.
