After a tragedy Kate Gaffney-Kozinsky gives up her marriage, family and life in Sydney for the Outback where she hopes to transform herself.
Critical reception
Writing in The Canberra Times reviewer Mark Thomas stated: "Woman of the Inner Sea is a touching story, cleverly told. I actively disliked Keneally's last two limp and lame novels, Towards Asmara and Flying Hero Class. This is a story with more emotional strength, more intellectual panache, more stylistic charm...Woman of the Inner Sea is a well structured, tightly knit narrative. Keneally organises his climax as early as page 72, but studiously refuses to let us in on his secret for more than a hundred pages."[2]
