CHarlie Hopkins is an Oxford seminarian with a passion for gambling. Lucinda Leplastrier is a Sydney heiress with a fascination for glass. The year is 1865. When they meet on the boat to Australia their live will be changed forever. . .
Daring, rich, intense and bizarre, Peter Carey's new novel is a brilliant achievement — a moving love story and an historical tour de force that is also powerfully contemporary. Oscar and Lucinda is his finest work to date.
