The year is 1947. Carlos slips over the orphanage wall in search of the village girl who has captured his heart. From that moment, his is a life at sea, a life that moves across the globe and across generations, lived on the turning tides of love affairs, friendships and enmities. Equator is a glorious and intricate love story in the magic realist tradition.

Reviews

A rambunctious, unwieldy novel . . . there is huge energy and pace in [it] . . . serious themes are woven into the strands of story . . . The exuberance of Equator, however, despite its sombre themes, is its saving grace."" - Australian Book Review

""Reading Equator is like immersing yourself in a performance of a butterfly dance while being mesmerised by history . . . a unique voice . . . inventive and funny and very engaging."" - Readings magazine
