Inside the Island ; The Precious Woman
註釋'Inside the island', set in a farming district of western New South Wales in 1912, demostrates how a matriarchal imitation of English society is destroyed by an outbreak of 'holy fire', madness from a wheat fungus. | In 'The Precious woman', the child-like Su-Ling, wife of a warrior governor in the China of the 1920s, is roughly awakened to strength and destruction by her mentors and learns there is no place for compassion in the execution of social change.
