Jack Maggs - Peter Carey
Jack Maggs, raised and deported as a criminal, has returned from Australia, in secret and at great risk. And why is Jack himself an object of such interest to Tobias Oates, celebrated author, amateur hypnotist and fellow-burglar - in this case of people's minds, of their histories and inner phantoms? What does he want after all these years, and why is he so interested in the comings and goings at a plush town house in Great Queen Street?
As Peter Carey's characters become embroiled in each other's furtive desires, and increasingly fall under one another's spell, their thirst for love exacts a terrible, unexpected cost. In this hugely engaging novel one of the finest of contemporary writers pays homage to his Victorian forebears.
