註釋There was a time when Blink Johns' gifts as a gardener were peerless. He was known, respected and in demand throughout northern Tasmania because he could conjure magic from the ground. Now age, infirmity and illness have rendered Blink a shadow of his former self. His mind is closing down and even the closest of his family are strangers to him.
Except for one, his grandson, in whom the old man sees the image of Angus Bain, the former miner, friend and comrade whose actions saved Blink's life during World War I. But why would that grandson, a successful architect, abduct an ailing Blink from his nursing home, leaving behind only a cryptic note, and take him to the west coast of Tasmania?
The answer for both men lies in the need to atone, to make amends, no matter how much time has elapsed and no matter the challenges or the consequences. With the help of a few trusted friends and a remarkable woman born and raised in the West, Blink and his grandson embark on the unlikely task of creating a garden in the wild and unflinching west.
A story of love, friendship, war and rediscovery, WINDMILL HILL shows that just by trying the impossible, the astounding can occur.
