THE APOSTLE BIRD
An evocatively written and compelling story of a young boy coming to terms with issues demanding honesty, honour and loyalty, set in the harsh, depressed gold fields of Adelaide.
In 1934, the year of the Great Depression, 15-year-old Neil arrives on the Adelaide gold fields with his parents, who are desperately hoping to find some gold and rebuild their poverty stricken lives. But it is not going to be easy. The fields are hot and dry, the mosquitoes plentiful and tensions run high between the diggers. And the nearest policemen are located miles away.
The arrival of the Americans Ivan and his daughter Kitty, sets the gold fields alight with intrigue. Are Ivan and Kitty really runaways from a passing circus? Is it true that Ivan has killed a man? And is Kitty really Ivan s daughter?
