It won the 2006 ALS Gold Medal. Plot summaryA moral tale, the novel tells the story of an Italian saint, Fra Ionio, who comes down from heaven to the small Australian town of Mangowak, to save some eels trapped in a ditch and to teach life lessons to some locals. ReviewsLisa Gorton in The Age noted that the novel "is gentle in spirit, reverent and celebratory", and "is as much a tribute to the life of a small town as it is the hagiography of a saint."[1] Awards and nominations
