Product Description
The Soul Stone is the story of one man's immersion into the 'land spirituality' of one of the last pockets of early human existence; a confronting and sometimes brutal journey into Aboriginal mysticism.
This is a story in which modern-day disillusionment is challenged by a single man's determined search for belonging.
Reviews:
A brave and intriguing work The Soul Stone, like the Aboriginal culture it investigates, is both timeless and universal. A visionary book that brings a current, global perspective to one of the smallest and most ancient cultures. And it makes riveting reading. - The West Australian.
People by intensely credible characters; but it's also unashamedly a story about real and current political issues. Collis's achievement has been to draw the various strands together into a seamless and quite unputdownable read. Highly recommended. - The Sunday Age, Melbourne.
The Soul Stone is an unusual fusion of lively narrative with a spiritual theme ... the story of Simon's progress from altar boy to catholic priest at a mission station, and finally to initiation into Aboriginal society. An absorbing, imaginative achievement. - The Australian
Brad Collis has all the qualities of a good story teller. This is a young man to watch. - Morris West.
