Between Sky and Sea by Herz Bergner & Arnold Zable
Requirements: Epub Reader, 2.1MB l Retail
Overview: A group of Jewish refugees are thrown together on board a dilapidated freighter charting a course for Australia. Fleeing terrible scenes of destruction in Europe, they are bound by a deep sense of loss and the uncertainty of their fate.
As the ship lists, inner conflicts burst to the surface and romance, revenge, guilt and desperation fill the craft. There’s poignancy, drama and an abiding strength of humanity as the passengers’ lives play out in this unbearable hinterland between sky and sea.
Now, more than sixty years since its publication in 1946, Between Sky & Sea has been resurrected to take its place among Australia’s major works of diaspora fiction.
Arnold Zable’s introduction highlights the chilling parallels between Bergner’s tale and the sinking of the SIEV X off the Australian coast, giving the reader pause to reflect on the unchanging plight of asylum seekers throughout history and across the globe.
