THE DEATH OF NOAH GLASS
At the age of sixty-seven, having just returned from a trip to Sicily, the art historian Noah Glass is discovered floating face down in the swimming pool at his Sydney apartment block.
His grieving children Martin and Evie must not only come to terms with the shock of their father's death. A sculpture has gone missing from a museum in Palermo, and Noah is a suspect. The police are investigating.
None of it makes any sense. Martin sets off to Palermo in search of answers about his father's activities, while Evie moves into Noah's apartment in Elizabeth Bay, waiting to learn where her life might take her. Retracing their father's steps in their own way, neither of his children can see the path ahead.
Gail Jones's mesmerising new novel tells a story about parents and children, and explores the overlapping patterns that life makes. THE DEATH OF NOAH GLASS is about love and art, about grief and happiness, about memory and the mystery of time.
The author of six novels and two collections of stories, Gail Jones is one of Australia's most celebrated fiction writers. Her work has been translated into nine languages, and has been longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Orange Prize. It has been shortlisted for the IMPAC Award, and the Prix Femina Etranger.
In addition, Gail Jones has been shortlisted three times for the Miles Franklin Award. She has won the WA Premier's Award for Fiction, the Nita B. Kibble Award, the Steele Rudd Award, the Age Book of the Year Award, the Adelaide Festival Award for Fiction and the ASAL Gold Medal.
