SECONDHAND BOOKS | Australian Fiction

Thirteen Australian package tourists set off around the world on the holiday of a lifetime. But as they trawl from country to country, through cities and round ever more obscure museums they find nothing as they expect it, least of all themselves. Homesickness is an enchanting novel: a wry, witty look at the ways people interact, a catalogue of comic digressions and tantalising information in which the world becomes a museum with no exhibit more bizarre than human nature itself.

1980. First edition. A very good copy only marked by light rubbing at the spine ends and tanning and light spotting of the edges. The d/w is near fine with only light sun fading of the spine and is now in a protective cover.
