Parrot and Olivier in America

"A tour de force, a wonderfully dizzying succession of adventures and vivid, at times caricatured, characters executed with great panache." The Sydney Morning Herald"

The author is a Commonwealth Writers Prize Winner and Miles Franklin Award Winner. Olivier is a French aristocrat, the traumatised child of survivors of the Revolution. Parrot is the son of an itinerant printer who always wanted to be an artist but ended up a servant. Born on different sides of history, their lives are brought together by their travels in America. When Olivier sets sail for the New World, Parrot is sent with him, as spy, protector, foe and foil. This recording is unabridged.
