Soon everything will be disturbed. Either the old growth is coming down or the loggers have to be stopped. And although not everyone agrees on tactics, noone will escape being drawn into the coming confrontation.</p> <p>A tale of a country town and its rhythms, <em>Repentance</em> is also the story of modern Australia at one of its flashpoints, told tenderly and beautifully through the eyes of characters you won't forget.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A fierce, fair, and moving novel, so true you can smell the rainforest." <br />--<b>Robert Drewe</b></p> <p>"<i>Repentance</i> vividly captures the past but speaks urgently to readers right now." <br />--<b>Debra Adelaide</b></p> <p>"Irresistible, compassionate, and timely." <br />--<b>Mark Tredinnick</b></p> <p>"Much like the interconnected root system under a forest floor, <i>Repentance</i> is rhizomic--its narrative threads entangle, offering a gestalt of a town in conflict." <br />--<b>The Guardian</b></p> <p>"Moves like a meditation, reflecting the rhythms of the natural landscape that Gibbs writes about so beautifully." <br />--<b>Deborah Crabtree, <i>Books+Publishing</i></b></p><br>
