Her upbringing is far from ordinary: in a shack in the wilderness, with a self-absorbed father burying himself in books and an unstable mother whose obsession with Shakespeare forms the backbone of the girl's limited education. \u003cbr\u003e Emotionally adrift, Perdita becomes friends with a deaf-mute boy, Billy, and a forsaken Aboriginal girl, Mary. Perdita and Mary come to call one another sister and to share a profound bond. The three misfit children are content with each other and their life in this distant corner of the world, until a terrible event lays waste to their lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through this compelling story of Perdita's childhood, Gail Jones explores the values of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice with a brilliance that has earned her numerous accolades.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Europa Editions","offers":[{"title":"Sorry | Gail Jones | Paperback | 9781933372556 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1616764","offer_id":48313176555672,"sku":"1616764","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/911ql7yhrJL.jpg?v=1773163203","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/sorry","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
