David Malouf's Ransom is a lyrical meditation on the role of chance in our lives. Malouf's adaptation of the ransom of Hector's body from Homer's epic, The Iliad, humanises Homer's characters.
At times deeply moving, Malouf recognises the importance of respect between enemies even in times of war. A rewarding and cathartic easy-to-read novel from one of Australia's finest authors. Try something new with Ransom!
