Woman of the Inner Sea is a 1992 novel by the Australian author Thomas Keneally.[1]
After a tragedy Kate Gaffney-Kozinsky gives up her marriage, family and life in Sydney for the Outback where she hopes to transform herself.
Writing in The Canberra Times reviewer Mark Thomas stated: "Woman of the Inner Sea is a touching story, cleverlytold. I actively disliked Keneally's last two limp and lame novels, Towards Asmara and Flying Hero Class. This is a story with more emotional strength, more intellectual panache, more stylistic charm...Woman of the Inner Sea is a well structured, tightly knit narrative. Keneally organises his climax as early as page 72, but studiously refuses to let us in on his secret for more than a hundred pages."[2]
After the novel's initial publication in Australia and UK by Hodder and Stoughton in 1992, it was reprinted as follows:
The novel was also translated into Italian, Spanish and Polish in 1994, and Turkish, French and Chinese in 1996.
