Pagan

Based on a true story, set in Sydney in the 1950s, Pagan is a story of the new music, the new migrations and the old magick. A world-famous composer meets a scandalous artist known as a witch, while his music student falls in love with a young newspaper reporter who is supposed to help ruin him. Pagan chronicles a society in transition, contains a moving evocation of young love, and tries to unravel the circumstances of a scandal of reputed orgies and pornographic photographs. The novel also deals with the feminist tradition of Wicca - witchcraft - and the highs and lows that individual live can encompass.
