Peter Carey

Peter Carey is one of Australia's most celebrated novelists, and the only author to have won the Booker Prize twice — for Oscar and Lucinda and True History of the Kelly Gang. His novel A Long Way From Home is set during a 1950s car race across the Australian outback, beginning as a rollicking adventure before deepening into a profound exploration of Australian identity, Aboriginal dispossession, and the nation's hidden history. Carey's writing combines storytelling verve with intellectual ambition and moral complexity. Available as an audiobook and in print, A Long Way From Home is essential for readers and listeners who appreciate literary fiction at its most ambitious and entertaining.
