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
