In 1821, an Australian ex-convict gives birth to a seal. She and her lowlife husband discover that this bizarre miracle can provide a source of income, and embark on a farcical adventure in the midst of a crowd of Dickensian eccentrics. This blackly humorous novel was short-listed for the Vance Palmer Fiction Award in the author's native Australia. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.

Publisher's Note
A Dickensian tale set in early eighteenth-century Australia follows the hilarious adventures of an ex-convict and her husband after they give birth to a seal pup. A first novel. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"As much a gentle satire on Australia's less-than-respectable past as an unsentimental tribute to unlikely family devotion....A literate and imaginative, if sometimes strained, riff on the provocative power of the unusual in a strange and distant place."
Amidon 

"What is remarkable about THE SOOTERKIN... is that, despite the considerable implausibility of its central incident, it is a persuasively realist piece of writing."
Macfarlane
