Alone in his big house, he longs for a return to his family's heyday and turns to books-especially\u003ci\u003e Ulysses\u003c\/i\u003e-for solace and sublimation. One morning a young woman arrives at his door and enters his life, with profound consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA novel that pays glorious homage to Joyce, \u003ci\u003eThe River Capture\u003c\/i\u003e tells of a man's phenomenal descent into near madness when love is lost. It is about humanity's capacity for good and evil and what happens when Nature is thwarted. More than anything, it is a book about the life of the mind and the redemptive powers of art.","brand":"Mary Costello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516771074109,"sku":null,"price":28.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781925355314.jpg?v=1787572637","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-river-capture","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
