A Long Way From Home, the new book from award-winning author Peter Carey, is out soon from Jonathan Ball Publishers.

Set in the 1950s in the embers of the British Empire, painting a picture of Queen and subject, black, white and those in-between, this brilliantly vivid novel illustrates how the possession of an ancient culture spirals through history – and the love made and hurt caused along the way.
