Orpheus Lost

In search of her lover, Leela travels into an underworld of kidnapping, torture and despair, in this compelling re-imagining of the Orpheus story.

Achingly sensual, effortlessly lyrical, Janette Turner Hospital's dazzling Orpheus Lost  is a powerful and disturbing novel. It is both a love story on a grand scale that spans America, Australia and Baghdad, and an examination of what happens to individuals when terrible mistakes are made in the name of 'national security'.

Publication date (Australia): 1 May 2007

Janette will be touring Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Albury, Perth and Canberra this May–June, 2007
