Hymn for the Wounded Man
Lilia is an Australian city girl who takes time out from her busy life to find her spiritual heart in New Zealand. There she meets a man whose culture she didn’t know existed in the modern world of the 21st century. And so begins a love story that is timeless and achingly beautiful.
Hymn for the Wounded Man will ferry you into the wild places of New Zealand. There you will embark on a journey to a little understood realm in the West, the realm of the hunter - and you will return home in love with life and love and truth and death.
This beautiful book is a homecoming - if you’re willing to take the journey.
What readers have to say
The heart, it is said, is a lonely hunter - and Stephanie Dale’s evocative new novel is a meditation on this bittersweet truth. Dale’s Lilia is hungry for love. But ultimately she seeks a more elusive prey: becoming the most magnificent woman she knows how to be.
This is a love story, but more than that it is a novel of ideas, set into a landscape that springs to life under the deft hand of a masterly observer.
You’ll be astonished at the panorama. But in the end, it’s the close-ups of a relationship caught in the crosshairs that makes this work echo like a gunshot in the woods.
