Über diesen Titel

It could almost have been their own country: these sections with the gums briefly framed like a traditional oil painting by the slowly passing window. The colours were as brown and parched; that chaff-coloured grass. Ah, this dun-coloured realism. Any minute now the cry of the crow or a cockatoo; but no.

Thirteen men and women travel the world on a package tour but wherever they go nothing is as it seems. Challenged by the unexpected, by differences and subtleties, Bail’s tourists are in turn repelled and attracted – and all are altered.

WARNING - this audiobook contains coarse and offensive language and scenes of sexual violence. Please note, offensive language is reflective of the period in which the fictional novel is set.

'Bizarre, playful and hilarious.' (Observer)
'I found Murray Bail’s novel Homesickness a work of brilliant and resonant artistry.' (Australian Book Review)
'It's a pleasure simply to be immersed in Bail's caprice-prone mind.' (New York Times)
