Brother Fish

by Bryce Courtenay

McArthur & Company | September 14, 2006 | Mass Market Paperbound

BROTHER FISH is an Australian saga spanning eighty years and four continents. Inspired by real events, Bryce Courtenay''s new novel tells the story of three people from vastly different backgrounds. All they have in common is a tough beginning in life. Jack MacKenzie is a harmonica player, soldier, dreamer and small-time professional fisherman from a tiny island in Bass Strait. Nicole Lenoir-Jourdan is a strong-willed woman hiding from an ambiguous past in Shanghai. Larger than life, Private Jimmy Oldcorn was once a street kid and leader of a New York gang. Together they reap a vast and not always legitimate fortune from the sea. BROTHER FISH is an inspiring human drama of three lives brought together and changed forever by the extraordinary events of recent history. But most of all it is about the power of friendship and love.

From the Jacket

In my experience, friendship is the companion that walks beside love and is often the more enduring of the two. In this book I write about friendship of the deep and abiding kind, unshakeable and unconditional. Three people, seemingly worlds apart, demonstrate the capacity all humans have to reach out and touch each other. I do hope you enjoy BROTHER FISH.
