What are The Pages? On a family sheep station in the interior of Australia, a brother and sister work the property while their reclusive brother Wesley Antill, spends years toiling away in one of the sheds, writing a philosophy. Now he has died. Erica, a philosopher, is sent from Sydney to appraise his work. Accompanying her is Sophie who needs a distraction from a string of failed relationships. Her field is psychoanalysis. These two women, each with different views of the world, meet a situation they have not experienced before, with surprising results. Murray Bail's first novel since "Eucalyptus" is a beguiling meditation on friendship and love, on men and women, on landscape and the difficulties of thought itself.
