| Summary: |
Recounting a fictionalised biography of the author, Moran shows considerable literary talent and a very individual style. He was essentially a destructive critic of medical, social and religious mores—though he remained throughout a devout Catholic; his work exhibits a strong sense of sardonic humour and sympathy with the underdog (from http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/moran-herbert-michael-7647).
'Beyond the Hill Lies China' vividly depicts the social conditions and medical practices in Sydney before World War I.
Often obscure, 'Beyond the Hill Lies China' is an interesting blend of everyday scenes with the odd quasi-mystical musing thrown in.
