Product Description
Synopsis
Snip Freeman is an artist with a passion for running away - from jobs, from friends, from lovers and from family. But the arrival of a cheque gives her new purpose and she advertises for a companion to journey into the Australian outback. "City boy" Dave is the first and only to respond.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gemmell writes brilliantly, 7 Sep 1999
By A Customer
THE desolate landscapes of central Australia, eerily beautiful and cruel, are superbly evoked in Cleave.

Nikki Gemmell's heroine, Snip Freeman, is a painter who, as a child, lived in the centre until her father Bud deserted her. Snip has occasionally lived with the Aborigines, but refuses to settle, flaunting her tough self-sufficiency. Prompted by her grandmother, she heads west from Sydney with a stranger, Dave, in search of Bud, her own childhood and, perhaps, a new life.

Gemmell writes brilliantly about the journey, about Snip's insistence that she feels lust, not love, for Dave, and later, about Snip and her father marooned in the desert, both hallucinating as they run out of water and hope.
