'It is early 1942 and Australia is in the midst of war.
'While working at a Japanese hospital in the pearling port of Broome, Dr Ibaraki is arrested as an enemy alien and sent to Loveday internment camp in a remote corner of South Australia. There, he learns to live among a group of men divided by culture and allegiance.
'As tensions at the isolated camp escalate, the doctor's long-held beliefs are thrown into question and he is forced to confront his dark past: the promise he made in Japan and its devastating consequences.' (From the publisher's website.)

He added that the award, which has launched the careers of Tim Winton, Kate Grenville, Gillian Mears, Mandy Sayer, Brian Castro, Rohan Wilson and many others since 1980, “counts enough to deserve a pause, when a pause is what is called for’’. He was right of course, and the pause has been followed by a proliferation: this year we have a winner, chosen from a strong shortlist of six. ' -
