Kangaroo

Kangaroo follows the English writer Richard Lovat Somers and his German wife Harriet through a season in New South Wales, among vivid coastal landscape and the fringe politics of Sydney. Semi-autobiographical after Lawrence’s own 1922 visit, it includes the famous ‘Nightmare’ of wartime Cornwall and a sceptical look at movements that want a strong man. Marriage, place, and political temptation share the same salt air.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Lawrence’s Australian narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the Australian landscape and political unease of Kangaroo in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
