Publisher Description

Winner of the Australian Literature Society's Gold Medal, 1948.


Herz Bergner's Between Sky and Sea is a moving portrayal of people pushed to the limit-a poignant and timeless depiction of the human condition. 


Fleeing the Nazi invasion of Poland, a group of Jewish refugees are thrown together-human cargo on a dilapidated Greek freighter, bound for Australia and the promise of a new life.


But the ship wallows listlessly between sky and sea, unwelcome at any port. And its passengers find their lives laid bare. Tensions rise as they try to cope with their profound sense of loss and the uncertainty of their fate-guilt, desperation and tenderness intertwine as the novel moves towards its shocking climax.


'A wonderful novel, acute, compassionate, unsparing-a classic with startling relevance to Australia today.' Joan London
