Focusing on the hostility between the early British inhabitants & the native Aborigines, Remembering Bablyon tells the tragic & compelling story of a boy who finds himself caught between the two worlds. Shot through with humour, & poetic intensity, Malouf`s epic novel of epic scope yet it is simple, compassionate & universal.
