Two men talk through the night - a convict waiting to be hanged at dawn and the officer in charge of the hanging - revealing their pasts, discovering unlikely connections between their lives. And in the precise, evocative language and with the acute perception we have come to expect from David."@en
  • "1827. Dans une hutte isolée, au coeur des hautes plaines de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, deux hommes passent une nuit à parler. L'un, Carney, Irlandais analphabète, ancien forçat et coureur de brousse, doit être pendu à l'aube. L'autre, Adair, est l'officier chargé de veiller au bon déroulement de l'exécution."
