Audiences and critics are relishing the release of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, an adaptation of Richard Flanagan’s historical novel. The book was published in 2013 and won the Man Booker prize. The release of the series and the marking of ANZAC Day make for the perfect moment to revisit the celebrated novel.
The novel follows Dorrigo Evans, an Australian surgeon and reluctant war hero, as he recalls his harrowing experience as a prisoner of war on the Thai-Burma Death Railway during World War II.
