A captivating novel by the author of the 2022 Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker

Based on a true story, Strandloper tells the extraordinary tale of a nineteenth-century Englishman, William Buckley, who was convicted and transported to Australia. Refusing to accept his fate he escaped and lived among the Aborigines for thirty years.

In this visionary novel, Alan Garner is as true to William the Cheshire bricklayer and William the Aboriginal spiritual leader, as William is true to his fate. The result is extraordinary.

For fans of Ursula K. Le Guin (The Left Hand of Darkness), Erica Wagner (The VOCAL+ Fiction Awards Anthology), Susanna Clarke (The Wood at Midwinter), Madeleine L'Engle (Ilsa), and Eric Ambler (The Mask of Dimitrios).
