Where the Line Breaks by Michael Burrows

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The Unknown Digger is Australia's most famous WWI poet. But for decades, his identity has remained a mystery.

Enter Matthew Denton, a PhD student at University College, London. He believes the unknown digger to be one of Australia's greatest war heroes, Lieutenant Alan Lewis VC of the 10th Light Horse.

As the story of Lieutenant Lewis, fighting his way across Sinai, Palestine, Jordan, and Syria, unfolds, the question of what makes him a poet, a lover and a hero becomes a troubled one.

Meanwhile, in the footnotes, scholar Matt Denton is fighting his battles with romance and academia as he attempts to rewrite literary history. (back cover)
