The Watermill by Arnold Zable

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to front cover right corners, now protected with book tape.

This quartet of true stories, of displacement, of survival and of resistance spans the globe and reflects the universal spirit of humanity.

A miller in rural China sits silently with the thrum of his waterwheel. A survivor of Pol Pot's killing fields works to bring music and joy to a new generation. A theatre troupe rises out of the horror of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. A Wurundjeri elder shares her knowledge of the land and the story of her great-great-uncle's stand against invasion. And a family leave the old world for the new, unaware it is a land far more ancient than the one they had left.
