` The day the great man sang, heat blazed in haloes over Bennelong Point. This is what Pearl will remember, later, this is what she will say: that his voice turned the air holy. Men, sweat-slicked, stood with bowed heads or hung off scaffolds, swatting at flies & tears. Few looked at the singer; they needed all their senses to hear. Needed their whole bodies, skin & eyes & hearts, to absorb what they couldn`t say: that sacredness had returned to this place. It flowed through them on a single human voice, through their bodies & the building that was rising beneath their hands.` ` This narrative of war & hope, architecture & yearning, & old & new world, makes Shell a novel of energy & enlightenment, &, to boot, a source of delightful reading` Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler`s List & In the Name of the Father Sydney, 1960s: newspaper reporter Pearl Keogh has been relegated to the women`s pages as punishment for her involvement in the anti-war movement, & is desperate to find her two young brothers before they are conscripted.

Haunted by his father`s acts in the Second World War, he seeks solace in his attempts to create a unique piece that will do justice to the vision of Jorn Utzon, the controversial architect of the Opera House`s construction. Pearl & Axel`s lives orbit & collide, as they both struggle in the eye of the storm. This is a soaring, optimistic novel of art & culture, & of love & fate.A beautifully crafted, spellbinding story of love, loss & identity, set in the shadow of the Vietnam War, for readers who loved All the Light We Cannot See & The Goldfinch. ...
