Cape Grimm Tapa blanda - 2004

In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights on books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.An evil wind blows through the air of Bass Strait, promising the birth of a charismatic child.On the far northwest coast of Tasmania at Cape Grimm lies the isolated community of Skye, which practises a religion that reveres the imagination.When Caleb Mean is born, his grandmother has a vision telling her he is the Chosen One.On Caleb's thirty-third birthday, he locks the whole community into the meeting hall and incinerates them.The only survivors are Caleb, his lover Virginia, and their baby daughter, Golden.How could such a thing happen? Do the answers lie in the history of Skye itself, founded by the unlikely survivors of a nineteenth-century shipwreck? Or do the only real clues lie in the dark truths of fairytales?
