Description
On a squally afternoon in the winter of 1821, Sarah Dyer gives birth to the strangest child ever seen in Tasmania, a thing more seal than human. The pup is a joy to its parents and a welcome companion to their nine-year-old son, Ned, who discovers surprising and profitable talents in his whiskery brother. But when a well-dressed stranger arrives bearing a modest proposal for the infant's future, no one forsees the trouble that lies ahead. A fantastical story in the tradition of Peter Carey, roundly praised by the critics and already an international bestseller.
