I'm hoping to pass this on to another BCer this weekend. : )
from the inside flap:
On a family sheep farm in the interior of Australia, a brother and sister work the land while their reclusive brother, Wesley Antill, spends years toiling away in one of the sheds, writing a philosophy. After his untimely death, his papers are left untouched in his study. Erica Hazlehurst, a philosopher, is sent from Sydney to appraise Wesley's work. Accompanying Erica is her sexy and passionate friend, Sophie, who needs a distraction from a string of failed relationships. Her field is psychoanalysis. These two women, each with different views of the world, face a situation they have never experienced before, with surprising results.
THE PAGES is a beguiling meditation on friendship and love, on men and women, on landscape and the difficulties of thought itself, by one of Australia's greatest novelists.
